1051.0. "Is this a rumor?" by RIPPLE::KENNEDY_KA (Rocketed to a 4th Dimension) Mon Sep 30 1991 14:09

Has anyone else heard this?  Or is it just rumor?  
    
<forwards removed>


	CNN just announced that KO is retiring in November and
	that Mitsubishi is trying to buy DEC.

    And the best place I've found to keep up with all the rumors is the
    DIGITAL conference.  The one to log into if you want to read only is

    My take on it is that it is just a rumor.  I've heard it before
    and the attribution was to a reasonable source.  Recent info here
    though, indicates low probability.  So relax.
    
    BTW the rumor as I originally heard it was:
    
    1. KO out by Oct 6th
    2. Mitsubishi to buy Dec and to give 17,000 employees
    2 years pay and out the door.
    
    and I don't believe that one either.  Your mileage may vary.

PLEASE DISTRIBUTE TO ALL DIGITAL COLORADO SPRINGS EMPLOYEES

			*DIGITAL CONFIDENTIAL*

Public Relations has received calls from Digital employees who say that they 
have heard from other Digital employees who saw CNN broadcast a story 
indicating that Digital was or is in the process of being sold.  This 
supposed broadcast also indicated that Ken Olsen was retiring at this time.

Both alleged stories are false, and CNN has confirmed that they did not put 
a Digital article in their news agenda.
