I found the ad in the 1994 Interex Conference Program, page 5.

The caption is as follows:

"HP 3000 A.D.  If business is still around then, one computer will be too."

The space-suited figure has an HP 3000 emblem.

Kind regards,

Denys. . .

Actually, from my INTEREX days, HP had an advertisement campaign showing a
business type in a space suit floating from a space shuttle type vehicle.
This read something like:

HP 3000, we will be there with you.... (or something vaguely to that
effect).

I think Denys probably remembers this one. Anyway, it has been done.
