Both DELL and CPQ reported earnings of $.16 per share.."

And 16 is a sacred number in Mayan mythology, as well as being the product of 4 squared. 4, is of course, the symbol of the Earth, in Sanskrit, and 4x4 represents the ancient Egyptian concept of the Universe. Since 2 is the square root of 4, the whole issue can be reduced to the principles of Ying and Yang which, unconsciously, are no more than cultural manifestations of the binary oppositon that is the infrastructure of all human forms of expression including the analog system on which computing relies. In the light of this it is not surprising that DELL and CPQ (BOTH COMPUTING COMPANIES) should each earn $0.16 cents per share. I'd be much more worried if they earned $0.13 cents a share.

Loki,

Good observation. Maybe we should point that out to your old buddy, jim kelley and the rest of his DELL brethren.

Prove positive, I guess that channel stuffing has permeated the universe. I am sure victor can attribute this to some old world, mythical transformation of neutronic ionization that predates the advent of lunar sunspots. (Or something to that effect.)
