Me too, as I could read in "Markt & Technik" (a german publication), HPollo
announced a new PRISM-release to be shipped in 1991. I remember a discussion
about HPollo's policy in late 1990 in this newsgroup. I think the near end
of PRISM and DOMAIN/OS development was stated. I wouldn't be too surprised 
to hear about the end of PRISM :-(, since the performance of HP9000/700 series 
looks much the same as PRISM II. Therefore HP would be it's own competitor.
But what of us DN10K owners?
Since it is not that easy to get all information published in american 
journals when you are working far in europe, I would like to see some 
clear statements in this news group.
