Ira, Well said ... CPQ will rise above its problems over time, the CORRECT new CEO is going to be KEY,/b> .... he/she has to know, motivate, and make quick/good decisions. The 2 ex-employees really screwed things up. I'm still adding to my CPQ holdings. One minor (very minor) positive is that this week's automatic reinvestment of CPQ's dividend bought me 2X shares than it did on 1/20/99 .... wow ! But it still raised my $/CPQ-share average. Michael

Ira: By most common standards CPQ is a screaming buy, right now. Even if its price were to weaken, on a risk-reward analysis, it is a buy now. Holders of CPQ might feel bad watching DELL and IBM and other stock recover some of their recent losses, but over time, the game will even out. You will have to be tolerant of the Reverend Kelley: he has Religion, and within that he is seized by one Big Idea with which he wants to prosletyse the world - but at least he is a true believer. Uriah Heep is a different. His pomposity has been pricked so he keeps trying to unprick it. I used to call him Malvolio until I realised that he does not know who Malvolio is. Besides Malvolio had a silly grin, Uriah just sniggers. That's it I'll drop Uriah Heep and Malvolio and re-name gene piccoli, "Sniggers".
