1. Negative? A matter of opinion I suppose. But a
realistic viewpoint built upon experience, knowledge
and factual statistics.
2. Actually I've only been unemployed for a total of 8
weeks in my last 32 working years. And I'm currently
working full-time for about 50 hrs. a week.
coninuously. The last item on the botton of the emails
is a constant footer - FYI. 

Is this negative? Am I negative? Absolutely not. Why
am I and only 1 or 2 others posting the realities?
Hmmm, perhaps because when Raven tells us 597
receipients got our email, that they are really no
longer on this list because they are professionals on
other platform lists? Another piece of supporting
evidence that MPE is dead? And that the market for MPE
is dead? This and many other factors for years now
sure does support this viewpoint. 

When was the last time you heard of a new or existing
compnay replacing there UNIX or MS box with an MPE
one? How many customers do you think would migrate
their UNIX system to MPE on Linux. 

Examine this from a market reality instead of from a
technical possibility.
