My question is...is Interex (HPWORLD 98) even going to *consider* the
HP 3000?  You sure can't tell from the "call for papers" that Alfredo
quoted.  (There's also no mention of the 9000 or 1000, but...I don't care :)

So, I thought...maybe I should look at the web pages, surely they'll mention
the 3000!  (or the 9000)


Barely once (if you exclude a checklist)


Perhaps my "favorite" Interex web page is: http://www.hpworld.org/HPworld98/cfpform.html
with the checklist:

   HP-UX   Windows NT   Personal Computing   Internet Technologies   MPE/iX or MPE V    Development Tools
   Databases/Dataware Tools   Real-Time   Networking   Emerging Technologies

Well, golly, at least we ranked fifth out of 10...we could have come in dead last!
