I loved the seeming technical excesses of Digital so much. Nothing they did seemed as calm and staid as Cray, Sun or even SGI.
Think about that name - Alpha Server 8400 Turbo Laser
- 52-6F-62 8y agoThat is just fantastic.
- pavlov 8y agoThat could be Apple’s next naming scheme: iPhone XR Max Turbo Laser
- Nelson69 8y agoThe "8400" part almost seems arbitrary to the rest of the name
- asdff 8y agoEveryone still names their crap like this. "Dell Optiplex 7010" or "Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 GTI RTX ETC ETC" gives me absolutely zero information about the product other than what to google.
