Helen: No, I think CPQ have their eyes on CRUS and CMPL. Why? Because they're two stocks I'm trying to hype. Helen, when were you last "with" Jimbo?

Helen - I can not see any reason why CPQ would have any interest in MUEI at this point and have heard nothing to indicate otherwise.

I don't think so. MUEI has better quality pcs but thier direct sales has NOT proven, yet. Don't see why CPQ needs another boxmaker when CPQ itself has to get away from hardware business asap to survive before pc box becomes another commodity business if it already is not. Having lots of government accounts due to political relationship might be another icing MUEI can offer. Otherwise, no. I don't see why CPQ needs MUEI. Mr. Simplot from MU does not need to sell MUEI now unless Simplot Estate wants to cash in before he dies. However, they might not want to pay tax from sale now. They know better ways to avoid tax. later, InSook
