El: I wasn't dining there - I was the guy who unfroze the filet of fish on Friday nights.

Morgan Stanley said IBM will meet its numbers. Merrill Lynch said today's fall on concerns about mainframe sales is a good buying opportunity.

(Just thought I'd balance the negative bias on these stores in earlier posts).

I've been lurking on this thread for sometime (with the occasional post). I'm interested in investing in COMPAQ at these levels - does anybody know anything about this company?

El: I don't want to depress you, but I think CPQ's earnings surprise will be reduced this quarter relative to the last.

In 4Q it was +22% (considerably more if measured by Kumar's predictions) but in 1Q it will only be +16% (or 38 cents).

Yours,
