OK Gang,

I had some time to reflect on my ad copy over the weekend.  I've added some
emphasis and more meat to the copy.  Plus, I gave credit where it's due.

Here goes take two:

Picture this first:
The top quarter/third of the page has an owl perched atop an HPe3000
K-series box.  The linedrawn owl would have an overemphasized head with a
scowling look on its face.

Underneath the owl/HP e3000 would be the text in a LARGE block
font "WHO KNEW?"

Beneath that is a regular letter style layout that says:

Dear Carly Fiorina and HP Corporate Management,

WE were just wondering why one of HP's finest inventions, the HP e3000
which runs the MPE/iX operating system and the IMAGE/SQL database doesn't
get mentioned more often?

With over 25 years of innovations your CSY team has improved this platform
to the point where it is the most robust OLTP server available.  And, it
can do all that cool internet and e-commerce stuff that every other
computer maker is raving about nowadays. Plus, it's the easiest to manage
and the most reliable too!

Come on, don't be modest!  Don't just preach to the choir!  Tell the rest
of the business world about what your CSY team and user community have done
with the HP e3000.

WE'll be watching,

The hundreds of concerned world-wide users of the HP e3000 who paid for
this ad, THAT'S WHO!!

I'm done now,
