^^ Nice. Since we're talking about Alpha stuff, two DEC 3000-400 AXPs popped up awaiting disposal in one of my usual picking spots. These are 133MHz machines, 64-bit.

...Cool looking boxes, but I left them there. 🙁 I have no real interest in messing with this platform or VMS, and these seemed REALLY heavy for their size (and they're not small!) I hurt my wrist in a bike accident a couple weeks ago and had trouble even picking one of them up. Can't take it all.
Now I'm getting jealous 😉
The Alphas I had were absolutely huge, always wanted a nice little one. A Multia would be best (or one of stamasd's ATX boards), but something that could pass for a regular desktop PC (at least until you try to lift it) would be a lot better than nothing. My wrist's also a bit weak after slipping on the stairs recently damn, this sort of accident makes you feel old but where there's a will, there's a way.
Tomorrow I hope to post something pretty nice here too, so can't complain. It should be worth the 4-hour round trip. At least I really hope so 😜
