Z, I'm way ahead of you! <ggg> I already posted what AOL will do a couple days ago... Actually, I have an even better idea. With next week's assured gains, AOL could also buy Fedex, and then own the entire internet distribution chain. You order the box via AOL, PaqAOL builds it, and FedAOL delivers it!!!

They could use CPQ as their manufacturing arm and begin sending out 'free PC's' just like their CDROM's. Actually, having Steve Case at the helm might be just what CPQ needs <gggg>. Regards, John PS - Besides, AOL could buy CPQ with no premium at all, existing CPQ shareholders would jump with joy at the chance to exchange their CPQ shares for AOL shares...
