Alpha's Going Going Gone

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the going-gently-into-that-dark-night dept.

WildCode writes "Get your Alphas now cause HP is releasing the last of the Alphas (the final one expected to be released in 2004), and there will be no more." I was already under the mistaken impression that Alpha was dead, so this story is rather bittersweet for me. Still, as far as architectures go, Alpha will probably be among my favorites. It was once vastly ahead of its time, if not severely cost-prohibitive.

  1. Another plain geek girl by swb · · Score: 0, Troll

    Like that Georgy woman who "ran" for Governor in California, this one's another plain looking geek girl that guys that don't seem to get out enough wet their pants over.

    Pale, dull and overly long hair, a very boyish figure, and a very plain face. I guess she's better than some of the fat goth chicks with bad complexions, but she's not terribly pretty either.

    Sorry, you can have her.

  2. Good for the HP Execs! by DAldredge · · Score: 1, Troll

    Now HP can afford to buy some more private jets for their execs to fly around in.

    70,000,000 USD for 2 GS5's. Shows what they REALLY care about.
