Hi Folks,
     Ah, the HP Way.....I remember it well. I just sent my nephew a  
copy of David Packard's "The HP Way" for Christmas after I found out  
that he had  been hired by HP's Roseville Division as a mechanical  
engineer and started just last Tuesday. Austin has an incredible  
imagination, enthusiasm, and energy and shares his ideas very openly.  
I hope he will be part of that group that will be resurrecting "The  
HP Way", he has such a foundation to work with. Of course he knows  
all about the history of MPE and the 3000.....

          Happy New Year......Eric Sand
