Steve, what I am starting to see is DEC's profit going through the roof as a Compaq subsidiary. Look at these numbers: Compaq Sales - $24.6 billion Net income - $1.9 billion Employees - 18,900 Digital Sales - $13.0 billion Net income - $141 million Employees - 54,400 Net income per employee = Compaq 100,529, Digital 2,592! You can be sure that DEC's number will rise substantially now that they are owned by Compaq. Sure there will be a one-time restructuring charge but I'll trade the potential gains we will see long-term any time! BTW, reduce the cash paid in the deal by DEC's cash at year end and cash they will be receiving in the Alpha/Intel deal and you are looking at a STEAL. There is no doubt in my mind that the market will eventually love the deal. Robbie
