Can't you just picture an advertisement, maybe with a picture of an old 2622A
terminal sitting next to a PC running QCTerm, with this headline:

The HPe3000 -- Not Legacy, but Legendary!

The accompanying verbiage could explain how your 3000 can host Web servers, do
e-commerce and all the other current buzzword applications, and still run all
the old applications that have kept your business going for decades.

(HP, if you like this idea, feel free to use it -- no royalties necessary.  :-)

Damn, I like it too.  "Legendary Applications".  Puts an entirely different
spin on the concept.

"Ho, vendor, what makes you think your new immature, unstable, overly
complex application can defeat our Legendary Applications in hand-to-hand
combat?"
