I suspect we may have to wait until the Intel chip.  It should make things *very* interesting.

Kind regards,

Denys after Alfredo after Ron:

>I agree with you that the HP 3000 is super-stable,
>unfortunately it does not have a GUI-based office suite
>that people can use.  So they use a Windows based PC.

and:

>In the current issue of ENT magazine, the cover story talks
>about IBM adding a PC on a card inside the AS/400 which
>will run Windows NT and will have access to all the devices
>on the AS/400.

And Ken Sletten made some interesting comments about this
approach being possibly suitable for the HP3000.  Well, I second
the motion.  We already have multi processor ssystems,so it
seems that while a non-trivial endeavor, it would have a good cost
benefit ratio and help HP maintain/attain a stable system AND
tke them into a simplified mode of didtributed and client server
processing.

What about it, HP??
