     Having no
better explanation, I respectfully submit that this
 "shortage" of Alpha hardware is due to random market fluctuations.  
 I wonder how much of it is due to businesses sucking up spares to keep
 their real work going for the long term now that Compaq has EOLed the
 line (prematurely, many would say!!) 
  That would be downright silly, because they haven't EOLed the
line...they've announced that the WILL EOL it, in what should be a
couple of years.
