Some selected quotes:

""We're concerned that OpenVMS and Unix will compete for engineering
resources in the merged company," said Hal Kuff, manager of network systems
at Tessco Technologies Inc. in Hunt Valley, Md."

Join the crowd, buddy.

"Rouchou [ITUG Chairman] said Compaq Chairman Michael Capellas gave ITUG's
3,500 members "strong assurances" that the NonStop line would continue in
remarks he made after the merger announcement."

Ha!  Been there, done that, turned out it was a lie.
