*why did DEC go under if they were so good?.* Excuse me for stepping in, but DEC did not go under. They were showing a profit for the last few quarters and their profits for the June quarter were the main reason CPQ's .02 loss wasn't much worse. EP realized DEC could be had for a song once someone told him the stars of their second last ad campaign were obtained form the board of directors to save costs. In return for this pittance we the CPQ shareholders have received some real jewels, ie. Alpha, Digital Unix, OpenVMS, Altavista and last but not least the best Service organization in the industry.
