True.. I had a chat about Alpha production with a Digital chap in a recent
fair. He said that the Digital-Intel deal has a (10-year?) contract for
Intel to manufacture the chips for Digital. And that Digital only sold its
chip production plant, but not the Alpha itself.

But in reality, only time will tell..

Anyway, end of discussion in this mailing list. Hype elsewhere.
