Or maybe they'll sell it to IBM.  IBM certainly knows how to keep
customers of Stuff That Works (AIX, OS/390, zOS, OS/400, etc.) happy.
HP killing the 3000 line made as much sense as it would make for IBM to
kill OS/400--on the surface, a lot.  But happy customers keep IBM fed,
and if customers want to pay to run OS/400, let them.

Then maybe IBM would port OpenVMS to the p5 systems.  -THAT- would be
the best of both worlds.
