[net.micro.att] AT&T takeover of Apple or DEC

hofbauer@utcsri.UUCP (John Hofbauer) (10/17/85)

According to the business report on the local news last night, AT&T
is attempting a takeover of either Apple or DEC. They gave no details.
Anyone know more about this? I wouldn't be surprised. AT&T seems to
be suffering. Just last week I read about their plans to introduce
a PC/AT clone.

If you've been following The Wall Street Journal, you will know that
there has been talk of AT&T buying DEC for quite some time, last I
heard, they could not decide who was going to run what. But Apple?
Why on earth would we want to buy apples?
