	I wonder, does this Compaq/Intel licsense aggreement allow Intel to
take the current Alpha processor, and just rename it the "Itanic", oops,
"Itanium"? 	Considering thier (Intel's) current progress on it, and the
fact that the Alpha Engineers are being offered jobs at Intel after they
finishe thier current projects, this does seems like a possibility to me.
Add to that FX!32 being so easy to get your hands on....
	Maybe just wishful thinking?
