- I agree. I started posting my list after I went to the InterWorks
- sysadmin conference and realized that a lot of people didn't have the
- same access to information that I have (for whatever reason). I wish
- HP would own up to just sending the list that SEs get to the customer
- base. I wonder if they're stuck in "mainframe mode" and don't really
- realize the needs of the workstation market.
