5241.0. "Independent Digital Review?" by WOTVAX::HILTON (Save Water, drink beer) Tue Apr 15 1997 19:36

    I'm after an INDEPENDENT report that says Digital is a good company to
    do business with, and the 'financial' problems are a non-issue.
                                           
    Anyone have a pointer to such report(s)?

5241.1Terry Shannon?CHEFS::CURRIEIThe sun doesn't set...the horizon rises!Wed Apr 16 1997 08:2210
    Can you make any use of the interview with Terry Shannon in the April 
    1st issue of DIGITAL Today?  I realise that being culled from an 
    in-house magazine, it might not be perceived as truly independent, but 
    he is an external industry analyst.
    
    Might be worth finding out if he has actually published a separate 
    report documenting his views.

Terry Shannon does publish something entitled (something like) 
"Shannon Knows DEC".

Must be independent, otherwise it would be "Shannon Knows DIGITAL" :-)

5241.3What's in the IR re DIGITAL's finances these days?BBPBV1::WALLACEjohn wallace @ bbp. +44 860 675093Wed Apr 16 1997 11:372
    Risky. Last thing I recollect from Terry Shannon wasn't entirely
    complementary about DIGITAL management (now isn't that just shocking?).

    Contact Mary Oskirko and get a copy of the Winning Edge.  
    This is full of analyst reports.  It's also on the Web.
    Mary's number is DTN 223-9409.

It probably complemented the story from our management.

I'd be wary of using something from the April 1 edition of _anything_.
