Riehers, I say this with all due respect to DEC share holders. I think most DEC share holders would take $30 and almost a share of Compaq at $25 rather then see the result of not taking the deal. If the deal doesn't fly I think DEC's stock will go south fast. Didn't it enjoy a big jump when the deal was announced? Why would it stay at the current levels if the deal failed? I think DEC would retrench to prior levels at the least. I would take the $30 and a share of compaq and DEC combined. It's not that DEC is bad, but the fact that DEC, and CPQ combined represent a better deal. Being the CPQ bull that I am I would use the $30 to buy CPQ stock. If it was less then $30, I could get 2 CPQ shares for one DEC share, and treat myself to a dinner or vacation. NW
