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 :-(.
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. 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. Respectfully, --Bob
