That is something I understand. Got my first ia64 two months ago. An rx2600 with two 1.3
GHz cpus. Nice but boy am i glad to have so many spare systems.

  Now that HP have effectively discontinued VMS and
associated hardware (I
 know - a few years out, but once you announce a sunset date, it's
 basically over) are we going to see hoarding of harware? Are Ebay prices
 going to start going up? 
I'm hoarding hardware already.

But then I've been doing that for thirty years! B-)

(I just got my first VMS-capable Itanium2 machine!)
