Hello! And what were they discussing? Hopefully something important. Remember, at the moment HP has no idea exactly what VMS is and what it originally ran on, then what it took over, and its final platform. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

After posting that email, I realized that they accidentally forwarded an entire conversation between two HP staffers discussing the email. PR fail.

It's quite interesting, but I'm also trying to figure out exactly where and when I told HP I was a VMS fan. I don't recall ever getting anything from HP in the past because of my hobbyist license registration. Wondering what others think about this - both from the 'HP reaching out' aspect as well as the aspect of promoting a port-it-to-VMS project. Ian
