Uh...haven't all the boxes in the last few years been 9000s?  (Albeit
neutered 9000s in some cases...)  I assume we are talking about the
discontinuation of MPE here.  If this is the case, if HP is smart, <insert
your snide remark here>, they would take Wirt's suggestion and spin off CSY
(MPE).  That way they would still get the hardware business and not screw
the customers who depend on MPE for reliable and easily maintained
computing.

WWWDD  (What would William/David Do?)
