Hi All,
I would like the answer to that question too?? The Blue Box Alpha's
(255/333mhz) sell for over $500
on ebay, yet the Blue Box AS 500's a faster machine, sell for less. A
Digital Workstation @667mhz sell for barely
the cost of shipping!!

Am I missing something here?
I've discussed this with a reseller friend before. He doesn't deal
in Alphas, but we've both noticed this for a couple of years, at least.
He figures that the 255s are deployed in some environments where
certifying new hardware would cost a lot more than paying silly prices
for replacement-in-kind. We've all seen that sort of thing, so although
it's just a guess, it makes sense.
