d00d...

I want that for my basement. So I can use an Alpha server as a dumb
term.

Seriously, this is probably not the last Cray that we'll see going
for a not unreasonable amount of money (is this one actually *free*
to a good home?). They're probably being phased out in light of the
far more affordable and almost-as-good computers one get at
workstation (physical) size these days.

Actually... if you would, forward the rest of the information my way
(privately). I may be able to persuade some natural science
department at Swarthmore College to take it in (computer science,
engineering, physics, math... something's gotta want it). I think
Swat generally qualifies as a non-profit organization, and it'd
certainly be used for education.

Definitely a little piece of history. And a comfortable piece of
furniture.
