Hi Folks, Just a little bit of info on what the competition is doing. It looks like IBM has eaten HP's lunch and is coming back for dinner and dessert. Its now down to a timing issue whether HP corporate is going to lose more(industry standing and disenfranchised customers) by not releasing MPE into the "wild" or will gain more by touting migration(and services) to HP-UX. I think we're just about at that point or the feeding frenzy will commence in earnest. The last three paragraphs are the ones concerning our HP3000. http://www.infoworld.com/articles/hn/xml/02/02/17/020217hnpartnerworld.xml Eric Sand [log in to unmask] * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
