Maybe the merger is a good opportunity to get something moving. The
stuff is being inventoried anyway, and it's only likely to get easier to
say "no" in this regard in the future. In any case I would encourage
anyone pursuing HP preservation efforts to mention the interest in the
TI stuff to any contacts they develop at the merged company, and I will
reciprocate. Feel free to give out my email, or direct them to Al
Kossow, or James Crippen at the E3 project.
This is a good time for me to mention that Dan Eicher maintains a list
for TI business computers, ti-990(a)yahoogroups.com, for anyone interested.

Sad to say it, but it's always easier to say "no". Less
research involved...

Hi peoples,
sort of off topic but just saw this
http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/07may02b.htm
True 64 is being dropped and HP-UX will be hp/compaq's UNIX product,
and then this
HP also will deliver on the previously announced Compaq OpenVMS. roadmap,
including the port to Itanium.
Started to post that last night, but never got around to it. It's not
that off-topic, and I sure hope the new company keeps tabs on the stuff
that gets dropped. Several other people besides myself would like to
know the copyright status and location and accessibility of technical
info and any remaining parts for the TI DSG assets HP acquired in '92,
for example.
