That's good news for those individuals and companies who have made overnight fortunes, but it can be bad news for anyone whose performance is judged by short-term rather than long-term results. Take Eckhard Pfeiffer, who, on Sunday, resigned as CEO of Compaq Computer. Was the board short-sighted in forcing out a CEO that's led the company through plenty of good times? Larry Magid thinks both Pfeiffer's dismissal and Compaq's come back are only a matter of timing. ------------------------------------------------------- upside.com MONEY Rosen's Balm ------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps the most telling comment on the state of the PC industry came from Compaq Chairman Benjamin Rosen.

It raised its skirt so you could see a little lace from its slip to profess affection for Qwest Communications' long-distance telecom network business. In Baby Bell terms, that punches the calculator to the clickety-clacking of $3.5 billion. Tish Williams dissects the Qwest-BellSouth union, a veritable match made in heaven. ------------------------------------------------------- upside.com
