If EV8 hadJ slipped out to, say, 2006 (as some who support Compaq's decision to cancelD it seem eager to suggest), then Alpha's continuing ability to remainJ significantly ahead of Itanic *would* have started to become questionable.  E I suppose that then just raises the question of why people care about I Alpha's potential to have continued to maintain a significant lead, since K that potential was killed over a year ago now.  And the answer to *that* is I that it exposes the incompetence and/or perfidy of those who, a year ago,  claimed that it could not.  G Those who support cHumPaq would like the rest of us just to forget such B events and look only toward the future.  Unfortunately, those sameF liars/incompetents (plus some new high-level weasels acquired with theJ merger) remain in charge of what's left of the DEC product set that peopleL here depend upon, and thus evaluating the future prospects of those productsH is intimately entwined with evaluating the credibility and competence ofG those who have proven so untrustworthy and/or incompetent in the recent  past.   J So every time cHumPaq's claque smarmily spreads its revisionist version ofJ history, it's desirable to trot out as much evidence as can be obtained toJ counter them:  there actually seem to be people here yet unacquainted withE the depths of Compaq's sliminess in this matter, and in any event the : obligation to expose such behavior doesn't fade with time.   - bill   ------------------------------  # Date: Sat, 27 Jul 2002 16:07:15 GMT 5 From: "Fred Kleinsorge" <kleinsorge@star.zko.dec.com> 4 Subject: Re: Itanic2 - the cHumPaq spin continues...0 Message-ID: <Tyz09.1$Ju.100444@news.cpqcorp.net>  < "Brannon Batson" <Brannon_Batson@yahoo.com> wrote in message6 news:4495ef1f.0207262230.b5c61b3@posting.google.com...7 > "Bill Todd" <billtodd@metrocast.net> wrote in message ? news:<FXg09.297878$iB1.15267619@bin4.nnrp.aus1.giganews.com>... 

FortB those with short attention spans, the Kursk was the submarine thatB blew up and sank in the Arctic Ocean killing all 118 on board. The; Russians tried to blame the incident on a collision with ano unidentified object.  E However, sonar tapes which recorded the blasts (a small one at first,aE then a much larger one two minutes later) cast doubt on these claims.iE A whistle blower within the Russian military has leaked that the crew @ of the Kursk was testing a new type of torpedo when the accident@ occurred. It seemed very likely that the test didn't go quite as planned.  ? While rescue efforts to save the survivors of the Kursk failed,hC salvage crews were able to recover a 'Black Box' from the submarinewA which contained detailed accounts of the events leading up to thelB explosion. As luck would have it, we got a copy of those tapes. ItF turns out that the submarine crew was trying to load Microsoft WindowsE on their fire control computer. Their intent was to replace the agingeC CP/M operating system with the flashier Windows OS. Apparently, thenE Russians didn't know about the legendary stability problems exhibiteds6 by Windows. The log tapes make this painfully obvious:  B Captain: Is the new fire control Windows OS installed yet Comrade?  : Seaman: Almost Sir.
