Speculation on which one Compaq to buy. I just saw this link from another thread. It is describing a INTERNET/MEDIA company (#2 US computer magazine publisher) that has been having serious financial troubles according to the article. Sounds like another shopping.com to bail out? It is Ziff-Davis Inc. The trouble is described in this link: Message 7214434 Read the company description below (from MS Investor, source Hoover) to see if it fits what the rumor said or the bill given the trouble described above: Ziff-Davis is the #2 US computer magazine publisher (after International Data Group) and a leading worldwide provider of technology information through magazines, trade shows, online services, TV, newsletters, and computer-training courseware. Ziff-Davis publishes more than 80 publications including industry leader "PC Magazine" and "PC Week." Its ZDNet.com Web site offers computer-related news, entertainment, and information. (The company is spinning off its online operations.) Other products and services include online content, computer-related newsletters, and market research. It also operates ZDTV, a 24-hour cable news channel that focuses on computers and the Internet. Ziff-Davis is controlled by Japanese computer company SOFTBANK.
