Jenne, it was clear Pfeiffer has to go. He botched Compaq's web sales strategy. My son a Comp Scien major works at best buy and says a lot of Compaq's machines get returned for problems. And finally the last eps figures were the coup de grace,

Jenne last year T's CEO resigned and it didn't have much affect on the stocks already low price ($28) and it didn't phase the other telecos. The day that T announced the name of it's new CEO the stock soared and is now in the $80's.

I realize it may be a stretch to compare a box maker with a major phone company. What are your thoughts?

I would think the resignation of Pfeiffer is only good for Compaq and the whole tech sector tomorrow. I used to hold CPQ shares until late last year, and I know CPQ investors lost confidence in Pfeiffer since the purchase of Digital (DEC). The late earnings warning really did him in. Under the leadership of Pfeiffer, Compaq lost credibility.

This should boost the tech sector tomorrow.
