$ SET DISCLAIMER/MAX

   While in the shower, this AM, I heard the newscaster on WBZ breech the story,
which ( as a "downsized" ex DECcie, we always heard the rumor that AT&T was gonna'
buy it.... damn near knocked me over), and the remark (IIRR) was something to the
effect of (not a direct quote follows, so any lawyer types, back off..): "Compaq has
some
of the best marketing, but not the best technology, Digital has the worlds best
technology,
but has always had problems selling it". Apologies if this is "off topic"... IMHO, I
hope
this "merger" helps, rather than hurts, the DEC product line.
