Ibexx, thanks. I may be crying and laughing at the same time today but it looks like it could be a good deal for CPQ, even if there is some overlapping. They will inherit this 2.5 billion in cash and if that agreement between Dec and Intel goes through, there will be extra revenues. And there is this 700.000 Mill. DEC is supposed to get from Intel.

Ibexx and all: Some concern re: Alpha chip w/ CPQ:DEC merger. Is there any possibility CPQ may want to put Alpha into ordinary PCs as another alternative to Pentium chips and thus drive down Intel's pricing, etc. It seems they have been trying that with the K6 and Cyrix chips, and Alpha is a higher performance competitor. ..They would own the Alpha architecture/rights even if Intel went ahead with their settlement and owned the Alpha chip plant. Any thoughts? Regards, David S. Long on Intel and Iomega
