The big blurb _I've_ heard CNN Headline news repeating is that
physicists at the Fermilab think they've found the top quark.

So I read between the lines something about McDonald's???
That's great. So maybe BurgerKing and JackInTheBox also try to buy Digital.
This would bring our stock from $20 to (at least) $2000.
And if it's a friendly takeover, why not?
The bad thing would be, if they pay us with burgers, ooops!
So we should wait and see.

| Digital <DEC.N> upgraded by PaineWebber
RTf 4/28/94 12:23 PM
NEW YORK, April 28 (Reuter) - PaineWebber Inc analyst Stephen Smith said he
upgraded Digital Equipment Corp to a buy from a neutral, saying it is vastly
undervalued and at this price it could become a compelling acquisition target.
"Either their stock goes up or they are (an acquisition target)," Smith
said. He said that at its current trading range, Digital's market capitalization
is $2.5 billion. "This is a $13 billion company selling at a market cap less
than Silicon Graphics (Inc <SGI.N>." Digital's shares were up 7/8 to 21-1/8.

| 3031.20 | DEC buy DEC? | SMURF::KHALL | | Fri Apr 29 1994 13:06 | 9 |
| Why doesn't DEC buy DEC stock at this point? We've done this in the
past (at much higher values) to support the price level. Also, I
would think that 10-20M shares would do a lot to protect against a
hostile takeover. Are we unconcerned about a takeover? Is there a
lack of confidence somewhere? Certainly this issue must have been
addressed by the BoD. Maybe it's just a matter of not enuff "free"
money to make a worthwhile purchase?

Maybe the BOD is not convinced that it is a good investment.. hee
It has proven to be a lousy investment for me even at Employee discounted
prices.

Don't forget, DEC is trying to conserve cash at this point,
and recently issued (preferred) stock to raise more cash.
Buying common stock back (and depleting cash reserves) doesn't
seem consistent with that strategy.

| remember....when you're losing money, you want MORE shares outstanding
so that the per share loss is minimized. When you are making money,
you want FEWER shares outstanding, which maximizes the per share
profit. Buying up our shares is not good right now...issuing more is.

BUSINESS BRIEF -- MCI COMMUNICATIONS CORP.: DIGITAL EQUIPMENT PURCHASE WILL
HELP EXPAND SERVICES
MCI Communications Corp. said it plans to buy advanced high-speed
data switches from Alcatel Network Systems Inc., part of a network
modernization effort previously announced by MCI.
MCI, based in Washington, said it will use the new digital
equipment -- Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) digital
cross-connects -- to expand its offerings of advanced communications
services, such as teleconferencing and medical imaging. Terms
weren't released, but an MCI spokesman said the purchase represents
a "substantial" part of the company's $200 million investment in
cross-connects from various vendors.

| Why should it be of interest? They are talking about the type
of equipment (DIGITAL) not the company. Alwayes thought DEC was better
than DIGITAL to tell US apart from the reset of the world od DIGITAL
