 PROFILE
The common mispronunciation of its name notwithstanding, Compaq Computer is anything but compact. It vies with Dell to be the world's #1 PC maker and it's the third-largest computer company (behind IBM and Hewlett-Packard). Compaq's computers range from handheld devices to the servers and mainframes that keep companies running and Web sites loading. The company's Global Services unit (about 15% of sales) provides a standard array of consulting, implementation, and support services. Compaq derives most of its sales from business customers, but also markets products to home users, government agencies, schools, and students.

 COMPETITION

Hewlett-Packard Company (HWP)
