I know that Crafty will use an alpha and I know that other programs cannot use
an alpha.

There are no sponsors to give every computer the hardware it wants and it is
possible that you could see more alphas if there was a sponsor to pay for the
alphas.

I guess that programmers also did not care about the fact that their program
cannot run on an alpha because most of them have no alpha at home.
