That's not really true. It just depends on how much you want to spend.
And it always did - these DEC machines were not exactly cheap.

True but, the others aren't worth $3,000 anymore. That's just what is
curious to me. Lot of equally great hardware and OS's out there. DEC
wasn't that special. I think it is something very specific that makes
one worth $3k and the other $50. There is some app that it's connected
too. The resellers know what this is. I don't think it's a general DoD
thing. There are certain Alpha machines that get the same treatment yet
better or equal machines are completely ignored.
