Now with 50,000 units/day, Compaq enjoys a 23,938% growth rate in unit manufacturing over 15 years, or 1,595% p.a. CPQ runs their lines 24/7. assembly works 3 12hr shifts with required overtime every other weekend or more if you want. lines are rarely shut down. mainly only for re-tooling. manufacturing lines are beautiful, very effiecient and enviromentally friendly. workers are treated well and have a lot of the same "on campus" benefits i.e. health club, eating facilities, etc., that the CEO and VP's have. (unlike MSFT and other companies.) just thought you might like to know. i enjoy your posts, keep it up. i've been busy lately. i bought a new presario 5660 with lots of goodies on it. i couldn't wait til march for the new katmai version. ordered online and it was here in 1 1/2 days. great huh? i think we are going to roll out some kind of internet ready set top type boxes. look for the announce next week. lots of good stuff in the works. E.P. sent employees an e-mail that said CPQ customer satisfaction rating is up. they are pretty pumped about it as this was a priority goal. things are getting better. service revenues are up considerably in the Q4. should be great earnings release.
