HEY! We don't put up with spam on this list!

Oh, wait a minute... Um, OK, it's HP stuff. Never mind. ;-)

The preceding reply was a feeble attempt at humor. If you appreciated
it, well, thanks, and if not, sorry to have wasted your time...

In all fairness, it appears to be a different market space, although I
suppose a NetServer can run as much as a lower end 3K. But the product
index included toner cartridges, cables, and H/PCs. Still, a LINK to the
big guys couldn't hurt, could it? In fact, I tried sending feedback to
that effect, and got an error when I tried to submit it, but that may be
a reverse DNS problem on my end.

Apparently, following some links, this is their Small Business site. So
I searched on 3000, and found out that they carry the EMC 3000, then
searched on MPE, and (only) found a 'success story' at
http://www.interactive.hp.com/hpcc/info/info_idx.htm, with the following
'good press':

With their strategy set, the credit union focused on which technology
partners could help implement it. MIS was already familiar with HP. An
HP 3000 MPE had been handling their mission-critical computing for more
than a decade, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week-and will continue in that
capacity. Says Watson, "HP's price, performance, reliability and
scalability make them the perfect automation partner for us."
