It's a cheap way to keep my toes in the Alpha camp, without
committing to buying approximately retail-priced hardware (Fry's
was advertising a 1.8GHz Pentium box for $499 all last week).  It
also explains why I haven't personally tried to deal with the 2G
limit issue, I think, unless you know how to wedge that much into
the tiny, tiny motherboard?  ;-).  I've had the thing for several
more years than people have officially been working on FreeBSD-Alpha
(late 90's or so).
