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.
