Yesterday (Tue, 11/30) HP and Amazon.com announced

       "...a broad agreement whereby Amazon.com will use HP systems in
        its Web infrastructure as well as offer a broad selection of HP
        products to Amazon.com's customers."

Need a 3000?  Visit Amazon.com! ;)

       "...thereby increasing the selection and availability of HP products
        in Amazon.com's Consumer Electronics store."

Then again, maybe the 3000 is does not yet qualify as "consumer
electronics."

       "Amazon.com is installing high-end HP 9000 V-Class enterprise
        servers that will deliver the high availability, scalability and
        mainframe-class performance needed to support its e-commerce
        business."

Harumpf. ;)
