Oh man, we´re not dead ;-) Ok, my SX164 board with the 21164pc is going slower in the last days
with the x86 cpus reaches the 1giga herz and more. But alpha is still 64bit, still resident
for viruses and worms and .. a lot of fun with booting with milo or srm .. with fix bugs
from developers who don´t imagine, that a long is really 64bit.
>>Alpha is going away, but it is not gone yet.
I do think so, too.

HP?
Oh man, they try their 4th reassambly, nobody here in switzerland knows any "old" person, what he/she did, or whatever.
The old contacts are gone. And they really know nothing about alpha or linux.. :-(
And somebody told me, that´s the same in good old germany.
