Thank you, Mr Suraci, for taking the time to answer John Burke's challenge in such
an honest way.

It has definitely helped me confirm my voting selections.

Some key comments :

One of the major issues is the amount of time already wasted and how little time is
left before 2006!

Trust is not something the HP3000 community has in spades when it comes to HP these
days and I can't see that "regaining HP's trust" has any relevance.
HP should  be endeavouring to regain the trust of the HP3000 community, at least be
seen to be making efforts along those lines.

Cheers,
