John - Re: " I'm interested in your thoughts on the possibility that Compaq might keep Alpha alive longer than expected due to the fact that Mitsubishi and Samsung also manufacture the Alpha," They will keep it alive only as long as their customers request it. Remember - DEC sold about 275,000 Alpha systems each year for the past two years. That means DEC and Samsung and Mitsubishi can now go kill each other and divide up the 275,000 Alphas among the three of them. Do you think these guys will stay in business to sell 90,000 chips per year per vendor? Intel makes 90,000 Pentiums about every 9 hours! You can complete the economic significance of this comparison.
