I'm currently a NT administrator "microsoft Guru" (bad word in this group, sorry guys ) and wanting to broaden my horizons to the "legendary" UNIX field, primarily in HPUX. Picked up the 927LX for personal home use and I was hopefull I could get a version of HP unix running on the box to gain knowledge. I've been told MPE/ix is a dieing out (-not the group I should have said this in.....(-rope around neck-) ) is this true?? (-not the rope around neck, but the MPE/ix going out.?) $$$ investments in learning don't bother me, they always pay off in the long run. I should have just picked up a 9000 to begin with, but now that I have the 927 just can seem to stop playing with MPE/ix...... Dean [log in to unmask] In article <[log in to unmask]>, "L. A.
