   Once upon a time, that is before Alpha, web servers running on VAXen
   on VMS were compared by those using them.

   The one that impressed me was a multi-threadeed server (I don't
   recall which anymore).  Someone had placed an inappropriate photo
   on a website, which had been noticed by many folks who use the 'net
   for such entertainment.  The site was taking a huge number of hits.

   Nobody noticed the load.

   After that kind of results from a VAX, running a website on an Alpha 
   seems a no-brainer.
