[Info-vax] 100+ Alphaserver DS10s incoming and will be cheap

[David Turner]

Well we have sold 50+ of them
Thing is, the commercial systems are selling better than hobbyists systems.
The commercial system we install a brand new Island power supply so that 
will make them last considerably longe
The DS15s are being scooped up globally by HPE for their major customer, 
DOW Chemicals.
Strangely, they were running an Emulator, but seem to be reverting back 
to the real Alpha
