< Joe Geiser's rant snipped, but relevant>


The fact that yet another significant application is disappearing from
the HP3000 is bad enough, but the most disturbing thing in this
"Newswire" issue was the cheeseball comment by HP's David Greene in the
article regarding HP's new Pervasive Solutions Council:

     "I don't think our customers are expecting that MPE is going to
     be there as the first supported environment on HP's latest and
     greatest hardware technologies."

What a shortsighted, low-blow comment for HP to make!! ... especially
in light of their recent PR re: the new long-term outlook for MPE.  I
sincerely hope that this is one person's uneducated view of the world
and not representative of HP's real philosophy.

Apologies for the rant, but I couldn't believe my eyes.
