Which technology was that???
The last time I remember DEC inventing anything fairly current was when they
came up with the VAX. That was 25 years ago. Everything they sold was the
OLDEST technology they could get and still foist of on the unwary buyer. They'd
NEVER have used anything as up-to-date as what Intel pushes, not that it's the
latest-greatest.

Oh, you mean the technology Intel got from DEC?
(thats why Compaq (who buys Intel CPU's) killed the Alpha)
