This is a constant problem we have - we should talk about 'MPE' not
"HP-3000"s - The world understands that software evolves.  Hardware is perceived to get
obsolete overnight.  Changing names also helps.  M$ is NOT peddling Windows
7.5, they are peddling Windows 2003.  Now why did Bill Gates use such product
names???  Could anyone accuse MPE-2003 of being 'old' without actually knowing
something about it?
