ntldr - Goodbye AlphaServer

Sunday, March 21, 2010

This weekend I got rid of the Digital AlphaServer 4000 5/300 that I've had for a number of years. It ended up going a friend, so hopefully some good use will be made of it. Honestly, getting rid of it is probably for the best: it's a pain to move (huge + weighs a third of a ton), and I haven't used it for a while...in fact, it hasn't been plugged in since moving out to Oregon a couple years ago.

Still, I can't help but feel a little bit nostalgic & miss it a little bit...

Between this & the other stuff I've given away over the last 4 months, I'm now down to the fewest number of computers I've owned since December 2002. Huh. Seems odd to realize that.

Anyway, bye Azure the AlphaServer!

Now I wish I could find that company that was selling old AlphaBooks and SparcBooks and other portable laptops based on obscure processors. I think there was even a PA-RISC one Argh, probably in my chat logs from an old computer...

Anyways, you need one. They weigh significantly less than a third of a ton. On the downside, they cost a third as much as my car.
