?!?! I think you had best check your facts on this
one. I've heard nothing
to indicate that HP has sold Tru64, and with no knew Alpha chips they'd be
hard pressed to find a buyer.

Obviously not a guarantee of 100% FACT but it's out there. This wasn't the
source of the rumour I remembered but a quick google turned it up. The
source was an interview with someone who was big on Alpha before leaving
Hpaq, wish I could remember his name!
Interesting, I've not seen any word of this in the
OpenVMS areas. What does
marking as "Renew" mean? Could your suppliers be confusing the fact that HP
has said support and parts will be available for a good long time?
No, renew in the proliant world means refurbished or old stock product, I
guess in the Alpha world it means it's not 'new' any more since the last
order date has passed so the marque is now 'old'.
