[Alpha Heatsink]

Ours was a 233MHz chip, and it had a heat sink that was huge. It looked
like it WAS screwed right onto the CPU... Maybe when we move the machine
downtown next year I'll pull the side covers off (The F-S guy showed me how.
BTW, it doesn't void our warranty if I poke around inside the Alpha, as long
as I don't smoke anything. He also showed me how to wedge the microswitch
closed with an ink pen.) and have a look at it.
