Right, you can't buy it.  You can only get it if you are a big OEM,
or are a developer who has some sort of inside pull within Intel to
get an IA-64.  If you really want to work on a port, then I can start
harrasing Intel to get you a machine, and if you dont work on the port,
I will do really mean things to you.  :)
