Let's just say that you are about to see new and improved pricing from
_everybody_ who builds Alpha systems out there. Dec just dropped the prices
quite a bit. I think maybe the $160 million loss they just took in the 4th

BTW, where is Steve Gaudet lately? I would expect to see lots of his
complaints about people mentioning prices by now...
