Hi --

I just heard from a (usually) reliable source that HP/Apollo has a discrepency
in delivery times between HP-UX and Domain/OS systems (equivalents).  It seems
that this person ordered two 400->425 upgrades, one HP-UX and one Domain.  The
only difference should be in the tape that's included (if they remembered to
include the tape).  They are different order numbers because of the tape.
However, the Domain/OS upgrade arrived 2 months later.            Hmmmmmmm.

In addition, the Domain/OS node (ordered one month earlier than the HP-UX nodes)
that he's getting is coming in a month AFTER the HP-UX systems.   Hmmmmmmm.

This person is inside of HP/Apollo, so he/she checked out some other orders for
other customers.  They showed added delays for Domain/OS too.     Hmmmmmmm.

Paranoid?  I'd like to think I'm not.  Then again, maybe HP _is_ out to get us.
Is there a good explanation?  I'd like to hear it.
