For those who haven't seen it yet on page A3 of today's Wall Street
Journal, there's an article on the fate of the Alpha (as resulting from
the Digital/Intel lawsuit/counter-suit) at

	 http://www.infoworld.com/cgi-bin/displayStory.pl?97106.ealpha.htm

Now, my crystal ball is pretty hazy, and I have no idea what they're
thinking at both DEC and Intel, but I wonder if this isn't the death
knell for the Alpha platform.
