in an effort to let you all sleep at night...
1.) Understand that the Alpha's are here to stay. The names may be
changing but I don't think it's much to worry about.
5.) The fact that they are required to support VMS for 15-20 years by the
Government, tells me that there
will be New and refurbished alphas available for quite some time. Heck, I
still have a couple PDP11's
and even a few AS2100's sitting around.

I disagree. How do you know the Alpha will still be around? Don't you know
that Intel owns the Alpha technology now; not HP? Intel is going to let the
Alpha just die out. There is going to be one more generation of Alpha and
then that's it. Open-VMS may live on other platforms but not on the Alpha |
