This does look good. Bottom line is: Who you gonna believe? The likes of briefing.com and other naysayers or the management of Compaq? That's a real easy call, IMHO.

From Motely Fool:
Digital Equipment Corp. (NYSE:DEC - news) jumped $10 to $55 7/16 after agreeing to be acquired by Compaq Computer (NYSE:CPQ - news) for $30 per share in cash plus 0.945 shares of Compaq. The combined company will control over one-third of the NT workstation market, will take third place in the combined UNIX/NT workstation market behind Sun and Hewlett-Packard, will take the lead in multi-user storage systems with 19.3%, and will also continue to lead the server market with over 31% market share to number-two IBM's 13.1% market share. Compaq says the deal will be accretive in the year in which it is completed, which looks possible if it can accomplish the same remarkable improvement in DEC's return on invested capital that it achieved with its Tandem acquisition. Since DEC has been something of a fitful turnaround, investors are having a tough time believing that, but there's enough of a product overlap to cut costs and enough of a complimentary relationship between the DEC service business and the entire product lineup that earnings accretion looks entirely possible.
