There are four nearby destined for landfill. I have a. Vaxstation and a HP Integrity. Are these worth saving?

IF you want access to an ALpha, they are fine. I too have 3 units. I don't use them as i also haev DS10s and DS10Ls which are smaller and faster. For free, they can at least get you access to Alpha systems.

The nostalgia is nice, but something like FreeAXP is a lot more convenient (and portable).
If the machines include licenses, those are worth having. |
