[comp.sys.hp] tradein SUNs for Snakes

schultz@halley.est.3m.com (John C. Schultz) (04/07/91)

I have heard rumors on this net that HP is willing to take SUN 3
series machines as a tradein for Snake series machines.  Any truth to
this rumor? We are looking at upgrading our SUN 3's to SUN 4's since
SUN is dropping software support for SUN 3's and switching to HP would
be an alternative.  

Thanks.

   How to include the taste of Glendronach in a multi-media system?

I have heard yes from internal HP sources.  Talk to your HP sales rep.
They have the details.

How about HP taking care of its own first?  How about offering a
tradein of Apollo DN10k's for Snakes?
