I think "the people who have been running the business...want us to move
from the HP3000 to Unix" are saying this.  We have always been an HP3000
shop, but now some software packages that we need are only available on
Unix.
 
These moves are dictated by software availablity....which is dictated by
installed base....which is dictated by software avaibility....(you get the
picture)   Before anyone adds, yes a little Marketing always helps.
 
as always, my opinion....
