[rescue] AlphaServer ES40 in Chicago- Anyone interested?

[Brian Deloria]

I've got a NEXT Color Slab that I bought at a computer show years ago and
never powered up.  I didn't get a hold of the keyboards, could never meet up
with the vendor again.  Available for shipping and handling from Chicago, I
don't want to pitch it I'd rather ship it some place.
