We have been chartered by one of our largest clients to come in and complete a department wide data/system analysis. One of the core systems runs on a HP 3000/MPE platform.

In checking tax laws here with my accountant - he's never heard of such a
thing - but again, this is California we're talking about, so who knows.
The presence of a booth at a trade show floor does not mean you have a
presence there, because you are domiciled elsewhere.
Again - this comes from my accountant, and we ARE talking about California,
which has come up with some weird things in the past, so who knows. I would
check with your CPA and/or tax attorney for the skinny on this.
(And let us know - because there are other vendors here who would really
love to know this too :-)
