Michael,

HWP already popped today on the news that PC earnings appear to be
meeting expectations.


I saw the boss (Lew Platt) on CNBC today. Nice, timely appearance.

How is HP's PC division doing?

Fine, on plan with reasonable growth, good profits. We're a couple of months into the quarter and can say it looks good...high single digit growth.

How about Y2K effects?

Balanced, some stimulation, some slowdown, not much change one way or the other.

Platt was positive, quite the opposite of Pfeiffer.

MG, I agree with you, but don't forget that CPQ is not far off on the top line, but off big time on the bottom line.

:O)

Get real. Do you know what CPQ's market share is? Do you know what the distributors are saying? PC troubles aren't co specific ...

INTC is doing what CPQ used to do -- it is called stuff -- you will see it in the prices of PCs in the next couple of weeks. A decent TV will cost more.
