If you only knew all the stuff that we've had to throw over the years. 
None of it lightly, but we just do not have enough room to save 
everything that we've collected over the years.
It all saddens me, but at the same time, I can't see that we could have 
done anything differently. When choosing between what to keep and what 
to throw, a DEC 7000 is pretty low on the list. It's basically the first 
generation Alpha. There are way sexier Alphas to be found.

Sorry to hear that. I think it's close to 10 years since we threw our away.
