again now for 4000's, and the prices seem crazy. Is there something
particularly special about them, or is it just the usual eBay
craziness?
Some people noticed, that there is still software and applications running on
them, and few years ago, people just started to buy top of the line (/90+) to
have spares.
Also note that Compaq continued selling brand new 4000/96 boxes well into
2000s (was it until 2004?). With their own front nameplate even I believe
rather than the original DEC one. I'm sure this reflected the demand and
contributed to current prices.
