All... Anyone know when and where the next stockholders meeting will be. Since I'm no longer an employee ( employees where not allowed at the meeting in the past supposedly due to space constraints ) I'd love to attend the next one. It should be real interesting if the stock continues to be flat/down. Only my second post to this thread but have been lurking for years. BB ^-^- BTW,as long as I'm here I'll go ahead and vent. As employees we used to attend quarterly site meeting in which the whole company attended ( it took many meetings ). The one I can't ever get off my mind was the one in which an employee asked about Dell, at the time they had a lot of problems. They had 4 people stacked in each office, discontinued their notebook line and were making only 3% margin per unit, in response to the question the VP answered we don't want to kill Dell because someone else will just take their place ( like that can happen over night ) - in business, war and sports you always take out your opponent when given the chance. All CPQ had to do was reduce prices by 4 or 5 % and take a hit in that quarter and things would be different now. Of course none of the other manufacturers did it either, I guess nobody wanted to fall on the hand grenade to save the others. I think that VP still works there.
