"Compaq, and Cardiothoracic Has the Last Laugh" By Herb Greenberg Senior Columnist 5/7/99 6:30 AM ET Fried-Day: Compaq capers: One market source, whose distribution contacts at Compaq (CPQ:NYSE) have always provided him with excellent insights into the company's biz, says it appears Chairman Ben Rosen has been moving quickly to shake things up in the wake of CEO Eckhard Pfeiffer's departure. Our source, who trades in and out of Compaq, both long and short, tells of one distributor who "used to complain about the little things that they can't handle. Now, it's 'Let's get it done.' They're dealing with issues aggressively." He adds that the change is noticeable over the past three weeks. "It's the first sign of life." A spokesman will only say that Rosen insisted, when he took over day-to-day operations, that he and his team didn't expect to be caretakers.
