One thing I'm confused on, I understood that a while back HP surpased DEC as
being the #2
computer maker (and this was a judgemental decision, of what part of the
companies revenues were
from computer manufacturing), but here is the #5 computer maker with revenue of
24.6 billion,
buying DEC, with revenues of 13.1 billion.   What number was DEC?
Or is this just a juggling of numbers - where total revenue is not entirely
from making computers?
