Windseye. Re: "Now, all of a sudden, the postponement of merger/buyout talks between DEC and CPQ of last year makes sense." I think you're right, and that this was part of the planning. My feeling is that CPQ never wanted the Alpha, but not due to the Intel connection. Remember, Mason came from Digital. He knew what a cash drain the foundry was. So they wanted Digital to get rid of it before they would buy. That also explains Palmer's weird tactics (the suit etc.) He couldn't just call Andy on the phone; he might say "No thanx" Palmer wanted to create a situation where Andy couldn't say no. Hence the suit. JMHO. I'm sure there are many others. HL
