Re: Alpha has gone to its reward



Hi Bob!

We had a horrific electrical storm on the 28th, and a lightning strike
took out my home air-conditioning units, my cable modem, my Wifi router,
a 16-port switch, my Ooma Telo, my main computer, my printer, and...  my
PWS-433au :-(.

Oh dear… I hope only „hardware“ is affected and you and your family are fine!

The Alpha isn't worth repairing, and I'm not going to go to the trouble
of replacing it.  I had my fun with it, and frankly, it lasted far longer
in 24x7x365 use than I had any right to expect.

Indeed, that beast really lived way longer than one would have expected.

Bottom line: After more years than I care to remember, I'm out of the
race.  Will continue to lurk and help where/when I can, but I won't be
doing any actual testing or debugging on Alpha.  Sincere thanks to the
experts hanging out here who have helped me through many a rough spot
with the Alpha platform.

Completely understandable and I wanted to express my gratitude to you and all the hard work you did over the decades!

Stay safe,
 Oliver
