| IBM-DEC merger impossible due to anti-trust laws.

Oh yeah, great. As if one beached whale wasn't enough.
Although the bureaucracy created from such a merger would
certainly be quite .... "creative".
I suppose a merger of that kind would qualify under the
non-competitive clause of the anti-trust laws except
this would be the first time the clause was applied to
the two merging companies!!!

| Can't a merger only cause "anti-trust" if we're trusted
before the merger?

Actually the real mergers are -
IBM & APPLE
DIGITAL & Microsoft
SUN & Novelle
HP & AT&T
It would take the government 10 years to sort this out or so
the theory goes.

re: .2
Non compete wouldn't be a problem, since the behemoth couldn't
compete! :-)
