They never stopped shipping Alphas. You can get them dirt cheap on Ebay or
from dealers like Island Computer, http://www.islandco.com. Island has a
cabinet with 36 DS10L's for $20K! I dare say you CAN'T find that much
horsepower anywhere for near that price. In addition, Tru64 UNIX hobbyist
license can be bought from HP for $99 or just install Redhat 7.2. No more
Alpha versions after 7.2. :(
BTW, those DS10L's have a Compaq logo painted on them instead of DEC. :(
I'm sure Island would gladly scrape the logos off. :)
