Yah, the Alpha was a sweet platform. I remember someone telling the story that their i386 program was faster on an Alpha running under FX!32 emulation than it was on native i386 hardware. Compaq buying DEC was a sad moment in computer history. Unsurprising that DEC failed -- their marketing was horrible, and their sales practices not much better -- but still sad. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
