Harold--- I sure hope you are right but wonder why CEO rumors would give it a pop until a short list or just one is announced. BuyOut RUMOR??? Who? Why? The cost would be next to impossible to find a buyer --- why would someone else do better?

Harold, your post would be more appropriate on the COMS thread today. The IBM CEO search took months, and you can bet that CPQ has not found the right candidate in a couple of days. If CPQ goes into the teens then maybe we can float some buyout rumors. Regards, John
