[QUOTE="mmoy, post: 96665, member: 9872"] I was working there at the time and I think that the feeling from the inside was the yields weren't that good. DEC had great technology and products but no marketing. And then there was Chainsaw Bob. AMD and Intel have picked up some nice pieces from Alpha. Other companies have picked up good pieces from the remains of Digital. The Alpha has been going through a slow death. I had an AlphaStation 400 in the mid-1990s (I used Jensons and whatever the 266 Mhz systems were named). I think that we had a few prototypes around for porting too. I haven't logged into an Alpha machine for a few months but they are still good for timesharing and servers. History may be repeating itself with HP heaving talented people over the side. [/QUOTE]
