It took me a little while to find the mention, but Tony's right: the HP3000
is first.

More prominently mentioned is the "E-Services Summit":

===============================================

     E-services Summit participants will be...

-    Ann Livermore, President and CEO of HP's Enterprise Computing
     Solutions Organization;

-    Rajiv Gupta, General Manager of HP's Open Services Operation, in
     charge of HP's e-speak language technologies;

-    Nick Earle, Senior Vice President of HP's ECSO, who will share
     details of end-user Internet and Supply Chain "pilot
     implementations" of HP e-services;

-    Strategic managers from Oracle Corp., Cisco Systems, Inc. BEA
     Systems, Inc., Ariba Corp. and BroadVision, Inc.

==============================================

In that regard, there's a particularly nice New York Times article about
Rajiv Gupta just a couple of days ago. The article's at:

http://search.nytimes.com/search/daily/bin/fastweb?getdoc+site+site+80146+1+wA
AA+rajiv

(or go to "Search the Site" and type in "Rajiv" -- and "search all" when the
first search fails to find anything).

Also of interest was a NYTimes article about the same time that said that
HP's new name is pronounced "Agile-ent" and that the name was devised by
precisely the same people who named Lucent "Lu-cent" (for those of you who
saw a similarity -- or a conspiracy :-).
