Re: DEC workstations FTGH in SF Bay Area, CA, US

Hi all,

Getting DEC is always hard... I have only found a few VAX & less DEC Alpha
...
Most recent I got was about 6 mouth ago, I check for stations each week all
over France & Germany.

MicroVax are often used by their owner so it cannot be found on market.
DEC alpha are often still used in companies as "historic" or "rescue" so it is
hard to find in market...
