Are you "back pedaling"?    You made a serious mistake.  You ruined the surprise factor.  You got Winston here with promises.  Let me tell you something.  HP knows about MPE very well.  Not mentioning MPE is not an oversight. It is a plain organized effort to shake loose something.  Do you know how long it takes to issue a press release from a top executive? Five minutes and a couple of phone calls providing that they know what they are doing. You don't want to see the writing on the wall because you love too much what you are used to.  Your cost effectiveness versus functionality and avaliable software in other platforms can not stand for a minute.   I love MPE as much as you do but you can not blindly ignore the fact that there are software packages out there that outnumber the available ones to MPE.  That you run an airline reservation system with an HP system means nothing if the whole world runs their businesses in other platforms.   Just some thoughts and wood to the fire.
