Yehudi Menhuin died today. He was 82. Very sad.

I hope he does not get the stock into any more trouble Victor. He can't warn, as others have said, that would come in a press release. However, if you look back at CPQ's recent history over the past two years or so, warnings have had minimal impact on the stock as I recall. The real damage has occurred from either rumor, or things that management have said in these infamous meetings. The rumor would refer to last February, when the stock went down for thirteen days in a row (37 to 23) without any word from the company. Shortly thereafter, channel stuffing and the warning were issued. We are all familiar with the recent utterings of EM, so I won't rehash those. In either case, it would be nice to at least get some info from the meeting, in the past we have heard about these and then heard nothing of what was said. Regards, John
