Well Roy, our HP 9000 with Oracle and a third party manufacturing package
can hack me off about 10 times
faster than our HP 3000 with Image and a third (same) party manufacturing
package.  It requires a bunch
more manpower to administer and when it comes to complexity makes the 3000
look like a Christmas
toy.  The 9k currently has 88Gb disc, but needs another 44GB soon whereas
the 3000 is only sporting 22 GB
which is about 8GB more than it needs (the 8GB is left over from a completed
project).  The 9000 is
sporting 1GB memory with 2 CPU's and needs another 1GB and not too far away
would be another CPU, the pitiful                         3k has but 1 CPU
and only 384 MB memory (upgraded from 192 MB due to aforementioned project).

So, Roy the 9000 consumes a *lot* more resources therefore it is more state
of the art (for more detail
here contact one Mr. William Gates).  So help me.  PLEASE help me.
