[geeks] HP announces EOL for AlphaServer systems

[kevin]

I, like everyone else on this list i'm sure, have used Seagate drives, 
especially so back when the Cheetahs came out, but i have had a handful 
of breadboard failures on them.  Enough so that i choose otherwise when 
i have a choice. 

To be fair, that was so long ago though i should consider their "debt" 
paid and start pricing them out again.
