Just forwarding this on as part of the (dying) Alpha community.... cheers, Rob >From: "Mike Barnes" <mike@grouse.net.au> >To: axp-list@redhat.com > >Since all the cool kids have a Wiki these days ... > >http://alphacore.info/wiki/ > >I'm throwing this out as a last piece of thanks to the Alpha crew. I >haven't switched on my DS10 for months, ever since I picked up an awfully >cheap 64-bit Sempron system which I'm utterly astounded with, >performance-wise, considering how much I paid for it. > >The big roaring blue box just doesn't have a place in my life right now.

If anyone feels >like playing, go for it.
