Without doing the math, California for sure, and also Delaware, I think, have cumulative voting for the board seats. Walter and the trusts would own 12% of the new company. Probably enough, depending on how many directors on the board to vote himself in. He wouldn't need capellas's "ok".

The president works for the Board, the Board works for the Stockholders, not the other way around, in theory, at least.

Some how, I don't think Walter is going to leave. MC may as well get use to Walter.

Compaq thrashes IBM, HP, Fujitsu

4-way TPC-C results
By Mike Magee, 01/02/2002 15:38:26 BST

WHEN WE VISITED Compaq's swanky City HQ near St Paul's Cathedral yesterday, Richard George, who does an extremely good job evangelising Alpha and the servers which carry us, gave us a copy of the latest TPC-C results.
And very impressive they are too, with the ES45 spanking the pants off Fujitsu, HP, and IBM.

George also claimed that Compaq had managed to increase Unix market share in the UK following the announcement of the Intel-Compaq technology swap, and the HP-Compaq takeover.

He said that Compaq was on track to produce several new Alpha servers during this year using the "copper whopper" 1GHz Alpha.

And there are speed ramps ahead for the Alpha too, with figures like 1.2GHz and 1.5GHz being mentioned in the conversation.

You can find the Compaq TPC-C results by clicking here. theinquirer.net

Meanwhile, the folks at Openvms.org have a fresh survey for you to sample. µ
