Seeing talk about Sable systems brings me to ask this question;
When DEC/Compaq gets these units back from 1, 2, and 3 year lease
arrangements (which should be happeneing wity regularity these days),
what do they do with them? I have often wondered what happens to
"obsolete" iron like the 2100's. I know there are trade in programs that
DEC/Compaq offers from time to time -> so what do they actually do with
the units they take in?
The local University for example has 2 2100 Alphaservers: 1 4x233 and 1
2x266 with 256mb ram each. They are currently arranging a tradein for
some DS20's (or something like that).
I wouldn;t mind one of those refridgerator looking 4x system in my
house to play quake on.. :)
I sure hope they (DEC/Compaq) do not destroy or throw them away.
