2ndly.. as Mike stated in his email.. the source within Compaq insisted this was the real deal even after all these denials.. I'm a bit puzzled if its gossip why his source is so insistent.. and Mike is putting his neck out over this.

Notice that Mike also says in his email reply that it hasnt just been OEM's saying this to him but engineers.. perhaps an engineer in Compaq is the source? (heh.. now I am speculating)

scribe,

First I want to be clear....it would be fantastic if it were true.........so its not easy for me debunking this rumor.

Secondly, it feels a little like the GTW and Dell rumors earlier this year, as well as the recent T-bird rumors. I think people overhear things or are given a piece of the info, and then its embellished and begins to take on a life of its own.

Lets hope it true.....it would blow everyone away. But in the meantime, I would rather keep my expectations low.

Thanks again for doing all this digging.
