  You are both "right": Rob should probably have added "at 7.0" and Bob
should probably have said "Update to the 8.0 release *when you get it*".
As the response from the original poster indicates, there is still some
waiting to do for 8.0 on a 300/400, probably less but still some for the
600/800.

  This response was not written to outsmart Bob, but to prevent zillions
of phone calls to the local HP offices from customers asking "Were is my
8.0 update?".
