Add me to the count.

While I think it would be great for HP to talk about MPE/iX as the OS they
invented, I do not expect them to (ever) say anything negative about
something they support, or for that matter, any product. Negative
advertising puts folks (and potential alliance partners) off. But I think we
all would welcome more positive advertising. If IBM can sell the AS/400
without POSIX, SAMBA, Apache, or clean and simple network printing, HP ought
to be able to sell MPE with all these things, while they are selling HP.

... I would take it a little further...  I throw out one of what I am
sure could be many variants (others may do better):

==============
25 years, and
HP invented:

Unix ??..   NOT !
NT   ??..   NOT !

MPE/iX..   YES !
==============

... with of course appropriate color, bold, etc.;  that do not
come through in plain text...
