I am looking for a place to buy a DecStation 5000 or even DecStation 3100. They must be pretty cheap by now... Any ideas where to look? Please reply to levin@whiz.med.harvard.edu if you have info. Thanks! Mike Levin

They did get a fair price for them, or a bit off the price for new AlphaServers. I guess Compaq will refurbish them and re-sell them. Alex.

There's basically nobody to sell them _to_, as is usually the case with last-generation workstation hardware -- and these, of course, are more like 3 generations behind. They'll probably punch holes in the PCBs and send it all off to component recyclers. -- Thor Lancelot Simon tls@rek.tjls.com "And where do all these highways go, now that we are free?"
