High teens?!? Barber, I'm not going to sell my shares but I think its time for me to set up a little side business to recoup the decline in my CPQ holdings. Tomorrrow I'm going to buy every tranquilizer and bottle of smelling salts in New England, set up a web site, then pay for a Reuters news release that shows up every time someone looks for news on CPQ. Called "Compaq Shareholder Services," my site is going to offer express delivery of smelling salts, tranquilizers, Kleenex, EP and EM dart boards, and, for shareholders planning to go to the annual meeting, rotten eggs and tomatoes delivered to their hotel in Houston the morning of the meeting. The eggs and tomatoes will be offered for free to anyone making a purchase. Without a purchase, these two items will be sold at cost as a service to humanity. >Can you imagine how CPQ would be doing under the leadership of > J Welch or GE,S Weill of C or M Armstrong of ATT? Yes. Do you think any of these men would be willing to participate in cloning research? Lynn
