Hi all,
 
I just visited the Interex web site at:
   http://www.interex.org
 
I was quite disappointed to not find any mention of MPE or the HP3000
on almost any of the pages I visited:
 
   home page: none, nada, zip mentions of MPE or HP3000.
 
so, I checked the pages pointed to from the top level page...
 
   The Publications pages had a couple of references (for Interact magazine,
   and, oddly, for Eugene's "Thoughts and Discourses on HP3000 Software").
 
   The "News" page had a 2 items (out of about 39) on the 3000.
 
   The CSL page has an MPE bullet.
 
   A couple of other pages had accidental (oops, make that: sporadic)
   references to MPE and/or 3000.
 
All in all, exceedingly disappointing.
 
Other random notes:
 
   The "Other Hewlett-Packard Related Sites" offers a quirky, and very short,
   list of web sites.  The criteria for being listing in the section "Companies
   on the Web" must be extremely complex/arcane/esoteric/expensive/?, as
   only two companies are listed: Convex and WRQ.
 
   The "extensive vendor list" is the usual list of paid-advertising.
   Spot checking showed that not all of the spelling mistakes in the vendor
   names have been corrected.
   I can sort of accept that a *printed* list of vendors might want to
   charge a fee ... but an electronic list should be extensive...and it isn't.
   I think that a *user group* should represent the users, not the bank acount!
 
Well...maybe more later, after I find some more bridges I can burn :)
