Well, look here...

It's the end of Aplha, I know that... Compaq likes Intel, and so they'll do
Intel a favor and kill Alpha off. Then all DEC will make is PC clones...
And that's the end of decent architectures from Maynard!

Here is a thought for you. Gateway 2000 owns Amiga Inc/International, and
now Compaq owns DEC. What's up with all these PeeCee companies buying
non-PC companies? The common denominator I see is that they've got OS's
that compete with MessySoft.

I think you have it backwards. Compaq is already about the #1 PC
maker. I think they want a piece of the major business networking &
high end market. This deal makes them #1 period across the board from
pc to supermicro/networks, behind IBM, of course....
