I would qualify that. Interex has the opportunity now to take a leading
role in helping its HP 3000 MPE members move forward, wherever that might
be. If it does that, it will be worthwhile to belong. Although HP World is
attended by a wide variety of HP computer users, I get the impression that
most Interex members are HP 3000 users. If that is true, Interex will
probably go away. Does anyone have an accurate picture of the composition
of Interex members?
