Tomcat: It looks like these are 'long term liabilites' at least the $734 mil and the 1.1 billion and in most likelyhood do not require deployment of funds immediately.Assuming the merger goes through without any problems, I am thinking these problems can be handled effectively without causing much pain from the increased cash-flow the company will generate.I am sure the financial guys have looked at these and thought they could handle it,otherwise I don't think they would have gone through with it. As for the inventory,I don't know how they handle that. Anyway I am sure someone who is better informed will hopefully come along and explain it better.

Re: <<<Some places I read $700 million and others I read $1.5 Billion.>>>

The agreement with Intel stipulates $700 million to be paid for the semi-conductor manufacturing facility in Hudson, MA plus $800 million in licensing fees for technology and in discounts on chips to be supplied over the future decade. While they sold the Alpha mnfg facility, DEC held on to the design team and design rights.
