I am sorry to say that the web site did break this down, and also sorry
to say that I miscalculated, and misattributed what I read. It is in HP
Professional, and I read it at http://www.hppro.com/7jul/main107.htm, in
Pullin' The Plug by George A. Thompson. There was an impressive number
of workstations, and seven times as many 9000 servers as 3Ks:

Overall, HP is now computing to the tune of a classic client-server
configuration consisting of 87,000 MS-DOS/Windows 3.1 desktops, 23,000
HP 9000 HP-UX workstations, 5,600 HP 9000 HP-UX servers, 6,000 portable
PCs, 1,600 Web servers (based on HP 3000 and HP 9000), 800 HP 3000
MPE/iX systems and 4,000 terminals. And of course, 0 operational
mainframes.
