Heh.  A pile o' Alphas in my closet, now that's a worthy goal!  Especially 
after finishing my Tru64 certification last weekend :)  IMHO, Tru64 Unix is
one of the better-kept secrets out there.  

Speaking of which, I'm working on getting a pile of Alphas, older
Turbochannel DEC 3000 series hardware.  If you'd be interested in one, let 
me know and I'll make a note of it.  These aren't pure rescue, but will
probably available for fairly inexpensive $$.  Hopefully I'll know something
in the next month or so...
