Maybe, maybe not. For some of those apps I don't see HPE's product offerings being much, if any, better than what's currently on the market. If these IRIX-hanger-oners didn't see anything compelling to make them junk their current hardware investment before, I doubt HPESGIWTFOMGBBQWTF will make them change their mind. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * [email protected] -- I just love a curious consumer! -- "Ranma 1/2" -----------------------------
