Such assurances have come to us DEC employees already from the executives you speak of. I can't say "don't worry," but I can say we (Research and Advanced Development) are specifically of great interest to Compaq. Anyway, speculation will always be speculation, we'll have to wait and see. -Jay

But seriously, folks; DEC has, for all it's faults, always been observed to have a soft spot for the net. Compaq has no such failings. This will be a subect of _great_ interest, and "don't worry"'s will have to come from executives with sufficient rank to make them stick.
