Right now, we're trying to get our hands on a fat Alpha box, or possibly an
IBM Netfinity.  Would much rather have the Alpha than the IBM, but gotta try
for whatever we can get. Of course if VAR would be willing to cough up a 3000
(Looks like we'll need that much horsepower), we should still pursue the
opportunity in case the IBM or Alpha deals do fall through  :(
