Hello Mr. Prather,

   Recently Wirt Atmar posted the URL listed below.... This InfoWorld
article basically amounts to excellent *FREE* advertizing (sp) for IBM about
their AS/400 product line... and shows a stance that is garnering IBM sales
inquiries ....

   When will we see similar *FREE* advertizing (sp) from/for HP's e3000
product line?

Thanks,
Art Bahrs
