We still see IBM attractively valued at a 13 percent discount to S&P multiple.

We were asked to give a 20 percent group discount, so we had to reduce our budget and try to do more with less.

Sprint is very inexpensive versus the WorldCom takeover. It's over a 25 percent discount. First, (there is) the $76 that WorldCom will be acquiring it for. And we think it's a very strong likelihood that merger will go through by the end of the year.

It takes the legality out of the issue for them. I think it's a great move for IBM.

I don't think this is a total shock, given what their competitors have done.
