Through my work I used to have a pile of DEC Alpha hardware, right up to the rebranded as Compaq workstations. Got rid of them around 15 years ago, as they were either dying, or just massive power hogs and Linux support was drying up for the CPU.

They were cool back in the day, and the workplace used to use them for a lot of our back end systems. I wish I held onto a couple of the DEC workstations, but there you go.

I wonder what Scott McNearly is up to these days.

I remember reading in a book about the funny/off the wall side of the early days of Silicon Valley that one April Fool's Day prank the Sun workers did to Scott was to setup his desk in a lift. They managed to get both power and network working fine in there.
