Except that our data & applications are _on_ that $3M
Alpha w/ VMS & Rdb licenses.

Sure, my 1GHz Athlon-C does integer arithmetic faster than
the 750MHz Alphas, but those 64-bit 66MHz PCI UW-SCSI cards
pump the data through a lot faster than ATA/100 chipsets.
(The 16GB cache RAM on the SAN also helps out...)
I think we're well past the point where we must agree to
disagree about the best way to back up enterprise databases.
