Oh, a minor typo, it's the 939KS/020 that is now gone with a new
939KS/030.

Also, when quoting a 918RX system, if you include MPE/iX 6.5, you can also
order a 4 user license.

It's a USD$2005 list price savings over the 8 user license with just
MPE/iX and IMAGE/SQL.  Congrats to HP on a new low-price point for small
configuations and software developers!
