    PC Magazine "Quote of the Day" for October 11, 1995 is from 
    Timothy Miller, Digital Semiconductor Marketing.
    
    It's a good "Alpha is on top" piece, and the title says "Alpha
    Continues to Lead the Pack."

    Quote of the Day -- October 11, 1995
    Here's the text from the "Quote of the day":
    
    Alpha continues to lead the pack 
    
    PC Magazine: What is the current position of Alpha among the industry's
    microprocessor architectures and where do you see it in the future? 
    
    Tim Miller:  "Digital's Alpha microprocessors lead the industry in
    performance, as they have done since the introduction of the Alpha
    64-bit RISC architecture in February 1992. The Alpha 21164 delivers
    more than twice the performance of the latest PowerPC 604 processor and
    three times that of Intel's Pentium 133mhz CISC processor. With a clear
    performance advantage and a rapidly growing portfolio of Windows NT
    applications (now more than 1,100), we look for Alpha to grow
    significantly in market share in coming years and to be the leading
    RISC architecture for Windows NT." 
    
    Timothy R. Miller is the Strategic Marketing Manager for Alpha
    Microprocessors at Digital Semiconductor, a Digital Equipment
    Corporation business.

BFD.  Our own marketing guy blowing our own horn.

We need OTHER people to say such things in the press, or no one will care...

    Of course, that doesn't mean we should *stop* say them...
    
    PC Magazine apparently runs a series of such quotes on its Web page.
    Digital Semiconductor was invited to participate, which they did by
    supplying the answer to PC Mag's question with a photo of Tim.
