Hello fellow listers,

I like the TShirt idea, I like the card to Carly idea ... I think there is an
opportunity to have each person going to Philidelphia publicize the HP e3000
personally by telling at least 2 persons (stangers you meet on the trip) about
why they are making the trip to Phili for HPWorld 2000.

If there were 500 of us who care that would be 1000 people who get the word
.... be an evangilist - find neighbours who are C-level managers - you know
CCEO, CFO, COO, CIO, CTO - and tell them about the HP e3000 - that would be FAR
more effective than just preaching to the choir.

CSY must at some point do some of the marketing - probably to niche
publications - to explain to those markets the success stories that the HP
e3000 community know exist ... CSY is the HP division that will profit the most
from expanding the client base.

We can help them - on your website put up your own success story which tells
how the HP e3000 helps you business ... make sure it is written in a style to
appeal to a non-techie ... pretend you had to explain it to your mother.

Each of the vendors in the community should help out by putting success stories
up on the web (see www.MBFoster.com - under what's new you will find our
success stories)

I hope these suggestions trigger more publicity out side the installed base ...
you are not alone and you CAN make a difference by telling the story wherever
you can!

If I can help you with your quest to tell the world about the HP e3000 let me
know!
