Hmmmmm....


New prediction.....

INTEREX will not exist as an independent entity by the end of 2003.







Boy was I way off... This happened many years ago....They have been in HP's
pocket for years and the only function of the board members is to attempt to
discredit Wirt and not taking care of there own customer base.


Get off the Wirt train Denys and make your software work with the latest HP3000
systems or have you abandoned the platform all together...
