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!)


If you end up with a surplus of Itanium machines, let me know.   I'm looking for examples of many different architecture.   Eventually I will compare performance between them somehow perhaps. ;)
