I think, that I read that even the 3000 sales were up and the best ever. At
least in the beginning of 2001.

Guess HP wants to be a cheap-printer and ink company. That's were the profit

No strategy for a multi-platform system/company/database.
Why would HP sell the HPeloquence only thru HP-Germany and not name it
IMAGE/SQL and sell it with HP-UX and make a Windows-Version.

Who knows? Maybe the task is to difficult for HP.
Hard to get/keep good and qualified people. They cost money.

just my usual .02 cents (EURO or US-$)
