There have been several discussions in this file recently focusing
on the notion that our Alpha technology is not being pushed enough
and/or noticed by the press as much as maybe we would like it to be.
I would like to propose a suggestion that would literally put this
technology in front of thousands of our customers everyday exposing
them and hopefully many more to its benefits.
The suggestion is to put our direct ordering channel the Electronic
Connection on an Alpha machine in order to showcase this technology
while increasing the ease of use for our Electronic Connection
customers.
Imagine the possibilities of what could be done with this. If we
actually did do it we could start by not even announcing it until
after the fact letting the customers ask us if something is different
THEN announce it.
Permission is granted to forward this as far and wide as possible to
as many people as it takes to hopefully have this seriously considered.

Say what???
The E-Connection is one of the most difficult menu-driven systems
to work with anyone ever experienced. (My VARs hate it) And it only
runs at 9600 baud. Alpha hell, put it on a PC.

It isn't CPU power that is needed. It's a 70's solution in the 90's. It's also bound by the same horrible legacy systems as DECgenisys and other state of the art solutions. Bob | |||||
