Hello Friends:

<plug>

We also take note of the lack of HP 3000 news *elsewhere* -- but we
see a different perspective, an opportunity. For seven years now, the
most complete coverage of the server has been on our Web site,
accessible for our subscribers (at a paltry $99 a year in the US, it
amounts to less than 30 cents a story -- any one of which might save
you hundreds of dollars, or boost your salary by thousands per year.
In fact, we had a sale this summer on subscriptions that drove that
cost down to 15 cents a story.)

Just since January we've posted well over 200 stories about the HP
3000 -- and that was before the recent introduction of the PA-8700
based systems that other publications managed to discover.

Later this afternoon we will be putting the NewsWire's Online Extra
stories up in the FreeNews part of our site -- one which anybody can
access, even without making the 15 cent a story investment. Head to
the Web site below to read coverage you can't find anyplace else.
We've got lots more stories to write about a computer that's not
dead, at least not to us in the NewsWire offices, or the customers we
talk with. And unlike other news sources, our stories are written and
edited right here in the 3000 community, not grabbed from other
publishers' bins.

Obviously, Moreover Technologies doesn't have our FreeNews on their
radar screen. Here's some 3000 links that escaped their automatic
loading, just since January:

The concept of "new news" has always amused me -- I tend to hear the
phrase from HP. It's either news, or old news, if you ask me. At
least that's the attitude I picked up in the newspaper business.

If you want our latest monthly, free Online Extra e-mailed to you --
and not have your e-mail address used in any other marketing effort
-- drop me a reply to the address below. Or sign up for a free trial
sub at the Web site below. There's nothing dead about the 3000 at the
NewsWire.
