All I can think of at this moment is how beautiful it must be to go on a
road trip in Montana.

I remain tremendously interested in learning about AlphaServers and
acuiring another one or two.

But I live in London, UK.  I was considering paying for the cheapest
slow seamail.  Other people have less crazy ideas.  I doubt that my idea
is appealing to Richard either.

I'm very happy that these are going to a good home.  It's fabulous that
the flame is carrying on.

For future reference, if anybody sees AlphaServers or similarly
interesting hardware closer to home (UK or EU), then please do let me
know!  Thank you!!

Kind regards,

Andrew
