Is this is what is called "double standards". The Reverend Jim Kelley lectures us on COMPAQ's lack of transparency and manipulation of tax credits and other means of achieving profits, but doesn't like it when DELL gets criticised for boosting its profits by financial dealings. _______________________ SI DELL THREAD To: Alohal (115118 ) From: jim kelley Thursday, Apr 8 1999 12:55PM ET Reply # of 115175 It is interesting that Fleckenstein and Burke get so upset over DELL making 3.1 B with the sell of Put warrants. Most people would applaud such an adroit move. I guess it ruined the short positions. <vbg>

Victor:OT This does not sound like any virus I am familiar with, but one of the anti-virus programs should eliminate the virus. If you do not have easy access to such a program, I'll find a good (free) one for you later at an ftp site. Lynn P.S. Finding a program will require me to log out and use my other PC so I can get into my mainframe account.

victor... haven't heard of that problem, but there is a very annoying virus on this thread that continues to plague and clog up my computer's system and I'm wondering if you or anyone else could assist in getting rid of it. The virus I refer to is called "Jimbo." jajajajaja El

victor... thought you might enjoy this post from the Yahoo Zoo. El DID YOU KNOW??? by: chion_cheng 63767 of 63767 for the na-sayer who for god knows why reason posting in a CPQ board bashing this stock and thinks cpq makes crap machines... most stock exchange depends on compaq mainframe server to do their day to day transactions... 99% of all atm machine are connected to a compaq machine backbone... most banks uses compaq servers or desktops... most courier company ups, purolator, fedexpress depends on compaq servers or desktops... and etc... compaq was rated #1 in help desk support last year... compaq was rated #1 company in the world to work for... microsoft standardize their whole enterprise with compaq machines and develop winnt 2000 & 64 bits NT on compaq servers... department of defense of u.s uses only compaq servers (alpha) to simulate nuclear explosion calculations... the latest hollywood oscar winners uses only compaq servers to develope high quality 3d images rendering in titanic and what dreams might come... etc. The country of China had standardize Compaq alpha unix for their government application developments... The list goes on and on... From my experience... hardware failure accounts for perhaps 10% of the downtime while the rest of the 90% are usually human errors... Think about it! How can other vendors like HP or DELL even come close to compete with CPQ? Posted: 04/08/99, 2:47PM EDT as a reply to: Msg 63748 by Billl923 We hear you! And we're upgrading!
