Looks like my buy of Tandem has landed me in a humongous company (second biggest IT firm after IBM). DEC doesn't have hardware or networks anymore. All they have is a service staff, And IBM's service division is making big money. But ... here's the clincher, which few people have realized: DEC had a deal with Intel by which in return for Alpha, they would get Intel chips on the cheap for a few years. Does that deal hold for Compaq also? If it does, then Compaq will drive everybody else out of the PC market. Wondering if it does (hoping too!). lakshman
