Now wait a-minute here.  HP is just following the latest buzz word
'downsize', 'down trend'.

The future at HP use to mean 5-10-15 years.

The future at HP is now defined as 5-10-15 months!

And what's that worth?

Winston Prather and Dave Snow laid out a very rosy "future", complete with
slides, for the 3000 as recently as August at HP World in Chicago.

I'm afraid we'll have to treat anything that HP says about the "future" with
a little less than the automatic belief that we once may have given it.
