Red, can you clarify? Do you want stock price on March 31, 1999 or on the day after 1Q earnings are announced? Thanks. Stuart.

Posted 10/03/99 7:48am by Mike Magee HP takes risc on PA plans Hewlett-Packard is attempting to respond to threats from the Alpha microprocessor by bringing forward the release of its PA-8600 chip. The company issued a statement yesterday intended to tantalise and tease its end-user base. It hopes the processor will speed up data intensive apps like data warehousing, CAD and e-commerce. Curiously, Compaq's Wildfire, slated for the end of this year, also aims for these markets. The company said it will include high availability features, and come in 500MHz and 550MHz by 2000 Q1. It will have faster cache algorithms and cache prefetch technology. It will also include error checking and correction (ECC) on its 1.5MB of cache on die, and include lockstep capability. While HP's new guard hopes that the PA Risc technology will pass into history, its old guard thinks differently, we are informed. ®

Posted 09/03/99 2:17pm by our barber Raise for Pfeiffer makes hair stand on end Eckhard Pfeiffer, CEO of Compaq and dubbed the Great Satan of Haircuts, has had a pay rise that is enough to make your hair stand on end. And the employees laid off by Compaq over the last six months will certainly be scratching their heads. Reports said that Pfeiffer now earns a paltry $30 million a year or so, despite the fact his firm made something of a loss during last year. If you comb through the figures, the package will shock you to your roots. That's the bald truth. ® Haircut rated Four Vultures by our resident barber

Posted 10/03/99 7:54am by Mike Magee Compaq workstation prog in chaos Reports reaching The Register from insiders at Compaq are suggesting that its workstation strategy is in chaos. According to the insiders, the Compaq workstation (x86 and Alpha) is "officially toast" today. This is nothing to do with the Alpha versus x86 argument currently raging. Compaq will make an official and very subdued announcement towards the end of this month. The insider tells us that there will be commercial desktops (read professional) and servers in a Brave New Windows World. It's too early in the morning here for us to contact Compaq for the official no-comment we expect. But we'll try later in the day. ® RegisTroid 911 'Brown Bread' is Cockney rhyming slang for dead, sort of a bit like toast.
