Warning: this is irrelevant to the stated charter of NANOG. Hit "D" now. I mean it. Don't read this. It's not about network operations. > This not just true for UNIX, a good friend of mine works out at Microsoft > on the NT development team.

Microsoft probably has older Alphas and newer P/Pro's. Any of you installing Sun or Intel machines for netnews or shell or file service or anything else requiring good source code compatibility (barring 32-bit pointer assumptions such as those in the route servers) and large numbers of computrons are being silly. DEC would loan you an Alpha for a month to prove you wrong, since they know you won't be able to live without it and the chance of them having to take it back is small. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
