Re: Alphaservers for free in Athabasca, Alberta

[Boris Gimbarzevsky via cctalk]

A mere 579 miles from Kamloops.  Unfortunately have to talk to my 
wife who thinks I have too many computers even though I've given away 
bulk of my DEC stuff.  Never got a chance to play around on Alpha as 
it came out during my Mac days.

I have access to 3 ES45s, a DS15, and an RA8000 in a tall blue 
Compaq rack in Athabasca, Alberta.  All the in-service disks were 
removed but all the spares are available.  The box also has the 
fibre switches used the connect the RA8000 to the servers and the 
cables, much of the paper documentation, and assorted doodads.  It 
would probably work if plugged in but it has been a year since it 
was turned off.

Athabasca, Alberta is about 1.000km North of the US Montana border 
and 10,000km from nowhere but it is summer and the weather is nice 
so we might be able to load this great heavy beast on a trailer and 
haul it up to a day's drive away if anybody want this stuff.  This 
is rural Alberta so
a day's drive is a l-o-n-g way (like 1,000km?).

I tried to give this away in early 2019 but the deal fell through.  If
I don't get a place to send it then I will keep the DS15 and convert the
rest of it into scrap metal.
