# Does anybody have any idea how much a new well-equiped Alpha workstation
# costs? I'd die to have one. I'm thinking they can't be more than a Sun,
# at $11K/box.

At least $7K for a really nice one from Compaq. You can probably get
nice ones from other OEMs for a little less.

# In addition, I've heard from people that Compaq has really let the Alpha
# line die on its own. I'm in no position to determine if this is true or
# not, but I sure don't see many Alpha products in their online catalog.
# Is it true that Compaq is beginning to move away from the Alpha?

I think Digital dropped the ball by not marketing it correctly and
Compaq's ignorance is what is causing the Alpha to not be as popular and
known as it should be.
