Some companies don't like announcing the vendors they
work with, or technology they utilize.  Sometimes it's for
competitive reasons, while others don't wish to imply product
endorsements because of their size/stature.  I've seen some
companies protect this via specific clauses in purchasing
agreements which restrict disclosure of use of a vendors
products without prior written consent and then rigorously
enforce it when a vendor steps out of line.

This is why I've chosen not to join this thread.

So if you are a consultant/vendor, you might want to be
more sensitive to announcing companies that utilize HP3K,
or other hardware/software for that matter, respecting their
proprietary information.

Obviously if someone under current employment for a firm chooses
to talk about it, that is a different matter.... :-)

Just my $.02

            Today, in 1963 - President Kennedy's body lay in state on
                             the same catafalque in the Capital that
                             bore Lincoln's body 100 years earlier.
