Don - maybe you should send a copy of that article to Max Mayer (isn't
Max responsible for these kinds of partnerships?)...

| 3139.4 | the following is **COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL** | KLUSTR::SOUTHY::Gardner | South Boston Mudshark | Sat Jun 04 1994 15:55 | 24 |
| my .1 *was* a tad emotional wasn't it?
to be more specific, the assertion that negotiations with Lotus
about the Notes port et. al. have not continued in the wake of Ed's
departure is most certainly false....as I was/am not directly
involved with said negotiations, comment on their exact status
would be imprudent....I will say this though:
1. Even an outside observer might note the Ed did not help us
bring these negotiations to closure....IMHO, his departure
from them was not necessarily a bad thing....
2. I have reason to know that the Alpha Notes port HAS ALREADY
BEEN DONE and is running on a variety of Alpha NT boxes (although
its not necessarily final)....the Agreement has been held up
more by political issues than technical.....
3. With 1. and 2. under your belt, if you reread the ComputerWorld
comments again, they sure seem like political wrangling, don't
they ;-)
there, I feel better

| Agreed. It is most frustrating to witness blunder after blunder and
try to remain *unemotional*...

RE: 3139.4
I don't know about "political wrangling", but I don't understand
the strategy:
_1 Do you mean that this kind of Computerworld pages on Digital
are good for us?
_2 "Alpha Notes port HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE" is " **COMPANY
CONFIDENTIAL**", otherwise if customers learn that, they
may want to buy our Alpha NT systems ;-)

| 3139.7 | Good... now we need to tell other people | LACV01::ROMANO | Don Romano - LACT IM&T | Sun Jun 05 1994 23:17 | 7 |
| Well... I'm glad to hear that the topic is not true. But as far as
external people are concerned it may be true. I would hope to see some
sort of rebuttal out there in Computerworld saying that this is false.
It's nice for us to know the truth... but for a large percentage of the
population... what they read is the truth.
