William, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one that thinks the DEC shareholders are being robbed. It really burns me to keep reading that Compaq is paying $9.6B when in reality it is only the cost of printing up a few new CPQ certificates and about: $4.50B Compaq cash - 2.00B DEC cash on hand - .70B Intel cash from settlement - .45B Cabletron cash ========== 1.35B real cash Now if you also take into account the $.8B cash discount coupon also coming from Intel, they're really getting DEC for about $3.50/share. They need a 2/3 majority vote to pull it off and if Compaq keeps falling far enough they may not get it. Robin
