    The earnings were announced today, July 27, 1989.  I saw them posted
    in VTX worldwide internal news.
    
    If I recall correctly, revenues were up about 11% and earnings were
    down compared to the prior year's.  Still, we made approximately
    $1.1 billion in profit for the year.

    income for F89 dropped by 18% from F88.  For Q4, we made 22% less
    profit than for Q4 in F88.  SG&A continued to rise disproportionately
    from the rise in revenues.

             DIGITAL EQUIPMENT REPORTS REVENUE GAINS
                     FOR THE QUARTER AND YEAR


MAYNARD, MA - JULY 27, 1989


	 Digital Equipment Corporation (NYSE:DEC), the world's 
leading supplier of network computer systems and services, today 
reported higher sales for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, 
which ended July 1, 1989.

	 For the quarter, the Company reported total operating 
revenues of $3,494,884,000, up 5 percent from the $3,339,439,000 
of the comparable quarter a year ago.  Net income for the quarter 
was $313,215,000, compared with last year's fourth quarter net 
income of $401,013,000.  Quarterly earnings per share were $2.51 
versus $3.08 last year.

	 For the full fiscal year just ended, the Company 
reported total operating revenues of $12,741,956,000, up 11 
percent from the $11,475,446,000 of a year ago; net income for 
the year was $1,072,610,000, compared with $1,305,633,000 a year 
ago.  Earnings per share for the year were $8.45, compared with 
$9.90 a year ago.

	 "Our overseas markets saw double-digit growth in the 
quarter as a result of new hardware, software and service product 
offerings, coupled with a strengthened sales and marketing 
organization," said Kenneth H. Olsen, Digital President.  
"Business conditions in the U.S. are still somewhat slow, with 
fourth quarter revenues similar to those of the same period a 
year ago, but up from the prior quarter.  Both discretionary 
spending and capital spending plans are being adjusted to reflect 
current market conditions." 

	 "We remain confident that we have the computing system 
technology and business solutions that customers want," Olsen 
added.  "Nonetheless, with lackluster conditions in the U.S., and 
the strengthened dollar depressing overseas results when 
translated into U.S. currency, the Company remains cautious 
entering the traditional low-volume September quarter."

	 The Company continues to make investments in R&D and in 
new products and software, as well as in sales and marketing in 
geographic areas of growth.  Olsen noted, "Digital's strategy is 
to focus on the computing environment of the 1990s by offering 
the widest selection of customer solutions, based on hardware and 
software from many suppliers.  This is integrated through our 
unified software environment, which is called Network Application 
Support (NAS).  With the positive reception of recently 
introduced products, and increasing numbers of customers looking 
to Digital for networking and integration services, the Company 
remains confident in its outlook."

	 Digital Equipment Corporation, headquartered in Maynard, 
Massachusetts, is the leading worldwide supplier of network 
computer systems and services.  Digital offers a full range of 
computing solutions and systems integration for the entire 
enterprise -- from the desktop to the data center.
