Alpha?

Should the Alpha version be mentioned? I do understand that it is not "general knowledge", but then again, neither is the entire Warcraft Universe. The Alpha version of Warcraft 2 was in quite heavy rotation back in the day and it is -- all things considered -- a nice piece of Warcraftiana. Further, if there's a place where I'd go looking for info on the nowadays-hard-to-come-by Warcraft 2 Alpha thingie, this is the page where I'd go foraging. I realize that a separate page would be pushing it, but a mention (however quick) is quite defendable and understandable. ~Anonymous Wanderer
