My last functional ia64 machine no longer powers on. Unclear if it's just
a broken power supply or something more serious. With almost nobody
in offices/labs anymore my search for another machine is proceeding
slowly.

Which is to say ... it won't be me noticing any breakage (at least not for
a while).

I think Al Viro bought an ia64 on ebay a while back ... if that's still running
perhaps he'll test?
