3500.1I know him!JRFVAX::HODGESWed Nov 09 1994 14:556
    Ask no further!!!  I was at a wedding in North Carolina and I spoke
    with the person who will turn out the lights!  (Hi John!   B-)    )
    I believe he works in chip engineering in Hudson Mass so that role is
    cast and we can all worry about other things!

    	We'll sell Hudson way before we turn out the lights. No the safest
    technical job in the new Digital has to be the people writing device
    drivers for our vaunted Intel PCs. So, if you can code, call 'em at the
    PCBU.

    RE: .0
    
    Did I miss an announcment? This is the first that I've heard about ASO
    being for sale.
    
    Are the products currently manufactured there going somewhere else?
    
    What's the time frame?

    CSC support for certain products developed "cheaply" overseas would, in
    my estimation, be pretty safe.

    	RE .3
    
    	They just hearded about 800 of so of us into the Cafateria 
    yesterday and announced that an outside buyer was seriously looking
    at ASO. I don't know how long this has been in the works.

    The safest 'tech' job in this company is the 'hardware tech' whose job
    it is to adjust the height of the SLT's chairs.  The safest 'software 
    tech' job in this company is that of the person who inputs the salary
    and stock option increases of the SLT into the electronic funds
    transfer system..... ;-)#
