Coffee retailer Starbucks has inked a five-year strategic alliance with Compaq. Under terms of the multimillion dollar agreement, the Houston-based PC vendor and technology company will become the preferred information technology provider for Starbucks’ Seattle-based corporate headquarters and provide Net access to more than 3,000 retail stores nationwide.
