Most likely they can't get the software right(tell me another good story). We bought one of their first turbo bus XPG (graphics) accelerators. They delivered a working Xserver three months after the hardware was in house. Go figure. All in all though, OSF-1 looks good, and the alpha machines are fast as hell. -- ****************************************************************************** Andrew C.
