I'm currently a NT administrator "microsoft Guru" (bad word in this group,
sorry guys ) and wanting to broaden my horizons to the "legendary" UNIX field,
primarily in HPUX. Picked up the 927LX for personal home use and I was
hopefull I could get a version of HP unix running on the box to gain
knowledge.  I've been told MPE/ix is a dieing out (-not the group I should
have said this in.....(-rope around neck-) ) is this true?? (-not the rope
around neck, but the MPE/ix going out.?)  $$$ investments in learning don't
bother me, they always pay off in the long run.  I should have just picked up
a 9000 to begin with, but now that I have the 927 just can seem to stop
playing  with MPE/ix......
