How do you figure?  Compaq's Alpha stuff was all developed before they
purchased Digital, that's not their doing.  Both companies make
piss-poor desktop PC systems.  They've both sold all of their CPU design
people to Intel, because Intel is a -manufacturing- company, and not a
CPU design company.

P.S.  Sorry, should have bundled all three into one reply, but I missed
this one on the first run.
