Tony Burzio asks "anybody know the President of HPs' number?"

As it happens, yes I do:

	Young, John ......................... (415) 857-2114

Further, I surmise that a note sent to the following email address
would get at least to his administrative assistant:

	john_young%hp0000@hplabs.hp.com

Note that since Mr. Young is CEO of Hewlett-Packard, he by default
works for their '000' entity, corporate, so it's always an easy guess
that if you want to get email to someone at the highest echelons you
can use the HPDESK "hp0000" hostname...

Further, as a sort of disclaimer, it should be pointed out that a 
much better way to complain about something like poor third party
relations is to ask your SE/FE who the Director of Third Party
Software is, then write THEM a note, Cc'ing Mr. Young along the 
way.  Otherwise it'll just end up routed to them anyway, but with
a delay of at least a week or two, if not more.

Btw: If you *do* call John, please don't tell him I gave you the
     number!  *smile*
