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. -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
