You're right Joe. I hate to sound like a broken record but we are
very interested in talking to anyone interested in writing about the
3000 for Interex. We are open to working out various kinds of
compensation from cash to ad exposure for various kinds of content.
The contact is Michael Ehrhardt and he can be reach at

On the other hand, we are looking at increasing what I think has been
very good coverage in HP World for the 3000 even more. Here the 3000
community can help by just suggesting news or stories that we can
followup and write on our own. The contact for this is Jean
Nattkemper and she can be reached at [log in to unmask]

By the way, everyone who asked for a 3000 tee shirt will get one as
we'll probably reprint because of all the requests. I should point
out that the tee shirts were not just from the pubs department but
also the conference department. And for those that asked, we're
picking up the postage.
