Gary Re: <Why can't Alpha be a cheap processing power ?>

In my opinion, with CPQ behind it, and the fragmentation of the UNIX world, IFF LINUX doesn't kill off UNIX, OR CPQ embraces LINUX it can be. It is, unlikely, however, to be the processor of choice for internet communications which I see as the primary usage of most home computers.

Who needs it? - a 486 with a quick modem is plenty!
