Yeah, about 6-9 months ago when everyone was unloading their Multias
for $49-99, this animation place had (as one bid) 30-some-odd workstations
and a big-time Alpha server for like $30,000.  They wanted to sell it as
a whole network of machines.  I guess they couldn't get any takers and
are now breaking the cluster up.
