I am would purchase the liscense from HP.  Cost in learning for me is never a
issue.  It always pays off in the long run.  Everything from the HP box to my
quad Processor Compaq Proliant that I have in my home is all for learning
experience.  Hey if I have to go to a 9000 series HP box if it is more cost
effective since they usually are already liscened for HPUX then so be it.
Weather I have to trade my 3000 or purchase the 9000 outright it doesn't
bother me.  Hey would be neat to also tag MPE to my learning experience as
well, never know when I may need it..

Thanks,

Dean
