It's a cheap way to keep my toes in the Alpha camp, without committing to buying approximately retail-priced hardware (Fry's was advertising a 1.8GHz Pentium box for $499 all last week). It also explains why I haven't personally tried to deal with the 2G limit issue, I think, unless you know how to wedge that much into the tiny, tiny motherboard? ;-). I've had the thing for several more years than people have officially been working on FreeBSD-Alpha (late 90's or so). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
