HP's already made the assumption that users of old stuff are not CUSTOMERS.
HP and Interex have repeatedly made the mistake of too-heavy survey usage,
along with un-answerable questions in those surveys, along with the
requirement that the survee (do I get credit for a new word?) repeatedly
enter his various demographic info in fine detail, obviously for obnoxious
marketing purposes.

Silence in this case indicates "don't give a damn, our HP3000s are boat
anchors".  If you know anybody who's using MPE (they might not even know
it), get them to submit a response to this survey.
