The june 1st Computerworld Norway brought an article by Don Omondi wa Radoli
concerning DEC.  In the article Radoli refers to a statement by Ken Olsen
saying that DEC expects to offer a "RISC-y VAX" (Not my term!) within two 
years.  Can anyone confirm if Ken Olson really has made this statement.  

If true, what does he mean by a RISC-y VAX and what are the consequences 
for DEC's commitment to the MIPS architecture?
