We had two 8400s (8x 5/300) in the datacenter
at a previous job. They
were really quite nice machines. They did a lot of offline processing
for a pre-Google search engine called Altavista.
Ohhh, Altavista! The mother of
all Web search engines. I used it a lot
back in its days. A shame that it went down the drain with DEC...
