How many NonStop folks are really going=20J to drop everything to attend five sessions?  That would just stop me in=208 my tracks to warrant an interruption in my schedule. =20  I Linux?  Great OS but we already have all of the Linux resources we can=20 I use and see no point just another hardware vendor trying to state that=20 > their platforms are better suited for running Linux systems...  K HP-UX/Tru-64?  The story line is pretty simple to guess, a tired and old=20 F story of the Borg assimilating another culture.  Tru-64 is dead and=20H unless you've bet your business on it, which for the C.O.V, isn't too=20E likely,  do we really care about how HP-UX will take the 'best' of=20   Tru-64 and be the flagship Unix?  J MS .Net, count me out!  Corporate wide, we refuse to run any XP OS, not=20G because its just another crappy OS but also because of the licensing=20 A issues, as well as refusing to be apart of Microsoft's revenue=20 K enhancement program which makes the prior overly zealous upgrade release=20  program look tame...  C So, that gets back to what's left which is VMS which is where we=20 I started.  Actually, the Encompass site shows over 160 sessions with 25=20 F indicating VMS in the title, so that ratio is a tad worse that what=20J Terry mentioned.  Though I do admit some of the pre-sessions as well as=20I some of the regular sessions sound interesting, to make an event of it=20 F for so little 'meat' in today's economic business climate cannot be=20) justified...  Here is the catalog URL:=20 0 http://www.hpets2002.com/scps/controller/catalog  I The original topic wasn't whether HPETS was worth attending, the issue=20 K was whether busy folks could justify investing 5-15% of their daily work=20 K schedule to evangelize for VMS when Compaq didn't and HP is not expected=20 I to.  Is that not like investing money into a floundering stock that is=20 G about to be delisted?  Does it mean that the company will go away if=20 F delisted?  Not instantly, but it certainly does mean that it is not=20# healthy nor in a growth position...   D The little "puff's" of marketing do not impress me after years of=20I neglect.  I would want to see ball-busting sales and marketing blitzs,=20 K HP driving ISV's for growth, new products, new markets, more competitive=20 G VMS and layered product licensing and maintenance, and then and just=20 I then, I might just believe that VMS is has not be dying on the vine...=20 G  Don't hold your breathe for this to occur, however, since HP/Compaq=20 8 were Wintel lackeys and that will probably not change...   Regards,   Barry      Terry C.
