Yousef,
RE:"As usual Jimmy ... You're wrong. The multi-billion dollar purchase of DEC
with no apparent "business benefit" has been a big "anchor" on Compaq profits.
Can't you just face the fact that the Alpha is a money "losing" CPU ??"...

Never mind Yousef, it appears all you want to do is put a CPU spin on everything. Had AV been spun off, CPQ shareholders would have been sitting pretty right now. Go look at a chart of Yahoo, for cryin' out loud.
