Some more on the DEC downgrade by Goldman yesterday... Digital Equipment lost 1 to 54 1/8 on the Big Board. Goldman Sachs & Co. analyst Laura Conigliaro downgraded her rating on Digital Equipment to "market perform" from "market outperform." In a research note, Ms. Conigliaro said she cut her earnings estimate for the company's fiscal third quarter to 43 cents a share from 48 cents. The third quarter ends in March. The cut dropped her earnings estimate for the year to $2.20 from $2.25 a share.
