Yes "Don't Panic!", take your time, make sure you do a full **cost**
justification on the different suppliers, don't just roll over to HP,
although the choices are limited.

Have I go this right, if VMS does not get ported, then there will be only 2
styles of Operating system available UNIX or WINDOZ?

With DEC, Compac, HP / Intel all in the same boat, how may different
hardware manufacturers are left (IBM, SUN, HP/Intel) ????

Gee I like the number of choices avalable in this wonderful global market.

Maybe now we can get a Linux version of Powerhouse? (free?)
