   [A full page ad. Photo of three cyclists.  The one in the foreground has 
his
 hands raised in a gesture of victory.  The text on the right half of the ad
 reads - TT]:
   "Imagine A UNIX Solution That Can Make You A Winner.
   'We selected Digital's Alpha AXP systems as our initial development 
platform
 for our next-generation of computer-aided emergency dispatching decision
 support software.  The Alpha AXP systems provide BAPSS with the best system
 price/performance.  This, combined with a 64-bit hardware architecture, fast
 graphics performance and an industry-leading standards-compliant UNIX
 operating system, resulted in our decision to employ Digital's technology.'
					David Riffelmacher, President
					Bell Atlantic Public Service Systems

   'The system installation went very smoothly - no glitches.  Overall, we
 would say that Digital has done an outstanding job in their 64-bit OSF/1
 implementation.'
					Jeffrey S. Jalbert, President
					JCC Consulting, Inc.

   'Digital's unified UNIX, DEC OSF/1, is emerging as a strong contender in 
the
 commercial UNIX market.  Oracle 7 for Alpha AXP DEC OSF/1 in its very first
 quarter resulted in revenue significantly higher than Oracle expects for a 
new
 product line.  Our results demonstrate the high quality of Oracle 7 and the
 competitiveness of DEC OSF/1 in the commercial UNIX market.'
				Bonnie Crater, Director, Product Management
				Midrange Products Division, Oracle 
Corporation

   'Over the past three years, Digital has invested a considerable amount of
 money and development effort in UNIX.  And today, the work they have done 
has
 put them in a leadership position within the UNIX Operating System Market.'
					Judith Hurwitz, President
					Hurwitz Consulting Group, Inc.

   'We have ported Sybase's Gain Momentum product to DEC OSF/1 V1.3 and run
 extensive testing.  As a result, we are confident that it will prove an
 excellent addition to the world of commercial, mission-critical UNIX
 computing.'
				Noel Leca, Vice President
				Business Unit Manager for the Gain Multimedia
				Products Group, Sybase Inc.

I don't have a copy, sorry, but I have seen the ad, and at least one other
Digital cycle-racing-related ad. They made me smile!

I could offer the ad-makers a picture of 3 bikies on the Riviera in Digital 
jersies - will that get me a copy???

I have one of a single cyclist with a motorbike behind, all apropriately blurred
to show high speed.

The line at the bottom is: "Imagine UNIX servers and workstations with the speed
to keep you out in front".

My wife (who also works for Digital) got me the loose copy. I'll see if she 
can get the others.

There should be way to get them through VTX LOS ....

    all offers accepted.  I'll carefully extract them from some of my
    mags.  How many do you want?  :-)
