Apollo 13, HP3000, IMAGE databases... They have a lot in common:
Reliability, resilience, a tremendous amount of attention to
detail, and a superb team of people behind them whose motto is
"Failure is not an option."
Jim Lovell, the commander for Apollo 13, has first-hand experience with
mission-critical systems. In fact, he owes his life to NOT having given up
when his situation seemed totally hopeless.
You are cordially invited to watch this week's "The Executive Forum" TV
program (from May 26 to June 1), which includes a conversation that Jim
Lovell and I had about Hewlett-Packard's best-kept secret (the HP3000
Business-Critical Computer) and its high-performance and high-availability
Database Management System (IMAGE/SQL).
For TV schedules (via ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, UPN, WB, cable affiliates, and
satellite feed), please see:

Please forward this information to all of your friends and colleagues
(including your boss and associated consultants :-)
