Longtime Compaq Computer Corp Chairman Ben Rosen, who played a key role in ushering in the age of personal computing, said goodbye to the company on October 12, 2000 in a ceremony marking his retirement.
NEW YORK - Compaq Computer Corp. (NYSE:CPQ), on Tuesday reported its third-quarter profit surged on strong sales across all its product lines, but the world's No. 1 personal computer maker promptly spoiled the party by warning its fourth-quarter profit would be hurt by a weak euro. The better-than-expected third-quarter profit and revenues, following a series of disappointments from its rivals, signaled a turnaround for Compaq, which a year ago was showing stagnant revenue growth, analysts said. However, it was overshadowed when Compaq Chief Financial Officer Jesse Greene said in a conference call that the effect of the weak European currency would lop as much as $100 million from pretax profits in the fourth quarter.
