\Hmm... if it was an as200 4/166 then it's probably been running RH 7.3
\Alpha in Enrollment Computing Support for the past couple of years (I set
\it up there). I know that particular box in ECS was very briefly known as
\cwolf.uaa.alaska.edu, running VMS about the time Pam Woods and the crew
\moved from the vax (acad2.uaa.alaska.edu, aka orion.uaa.alaska.edu) to an
\Alphaserver 2100a. They got a pair of the 2100a's, and the other one was
\ursa.uaa.alaska.edu, running DU.

\Ahh, the memories...

Naa.. Saturn was retired around Feb/March either 2000 or 2001. Thats after
you left I'm sure Mike.
One interesting thing is that uaa math/comp sci kept a pdp11 rack (from
some previous machine) around untill 2004 sometime. The inventory price
tag attached to the barcode on that rack was around $53000. Man that was a
pain to retrofit dell stuff into.. even at that price :-)
