A recent issue of Forbes (I don't have the date -- but the cover story
is on the AT&T - MCI - Sprint battle for long distance service) suggests
that AT&T may be looking to acquire (merge with) DEC to shore up its
computer know-how in the upcoming main event against IBM.  Or if not
DEC, some other established major player in the DP biz.

Any comments?
