I don't know about everyone else, but I'm sick of hearing about this non-Apollo non-Domain box. I will never order one; I have no use for one because it does not run Domain OS. I will NOT be converting to OSF for at least 2-3 years. I therefore request to the officers of ADUS (APOLLO DOMAIN USER'S SOCIETY) that this non-Domain box be banned from the upcoming ADUS conference (except in the vendor booth area), and that HP not be allowed to make any presentations concerning this box. -- Dick Harrigill, an independent voice from: Boeing Commercial Airplanes M/S 9R-49 PO BOX 3707 Renton Avionics/Flight Systems Seattle, WA 91824 Computing Support (206) 393-9539 rfh3273@galileo.rtn.ca.boeing.com
