To which I reply: This would be incorrect since sushi is actually the rice
itself.  Sashimi is "cold, dead fish".  Some people drape sashimi over their
sushi, others put avocado or other vegetables on or in their sushi.

For some reason, sushi is never server with cold, raw pork.  :)

For some reason, HP treats the number of installed 3000s as a deep, dark
secret, and have never, to my knowledge, released that number.

As for HP's marketing skills, someone once said that HP would advertise
sushi as "cold, dead fish".
