I'm being very serious here, when I say that HP's European Distribution is in a
mess.

At our office we are running HP's X11, but only because we're on good
terms with our AE who let us have a copy of his tape when we found we needed
it. We still haven't received our update!

This is also the only reason that we're running HP-UX 6.2 on our 300's. We
still haven't received our update!

Also we are currently in the process of getting HP-UX 3.1 for the 800's.
This ``delivery'' has been going on since February.

At this rate we won't get HP-UX 3.1 until about June.

Also what about 24 bit support for the 300's ???
