I have learned some time ago - Ken Olsen is irrevelant. A lot of things
he says always seem quite the contrary to what DEC ends up doing. As
Barry Shein once eloquently put it "They ought to put him out to pasture".

>From what I understood at a recent gathering DEC had in our area,
they already have about 150 systems internally running RISC and
were talking about a January '89 release. What actually happens,
well...your guess is as good as mine ;-).
