Hi -- I just heard from a (usually) reliable source that HP/Apollo has a discrepency in delivery times between HP-UX and Domain/OS systems (equivalents). It seems that this person ordered two 400->425 upgrades, one HP-UX and one Domain. The only difference should be in the tape that's included (if they remembered to include the tape). They are different order numbers because of the tape. However, the Domain/OS upgrade arrived 2 months later. Hmmmmmmm. In addition, the Domain/OS node (ordered one month earlier than the HP-UX nodes) that he's getting is coming in a month AFTER the HP-UX systems. Hmmmmmmm. This person is inside of HP/Apollo, so he/she checked out some other orders for other customers. They showed added delays for Domain/OS too. Hmmmmmmm. Paranoid? I'd like to think I'm not. Then again, maybe HP _is_ out to get us. Is there a good explanation? I'd like to hear it. -- jt -- John Thompson Honeywell, SSEC Plymouth, MN 55441 thompson@pan.ssec.honeywell.com When in danger, when in doubt -- run in circles, scream and shout.

i think perhaps you are. we ordered bits&pieces (keyboards etc) to make
up HP-UX and Domain systems, and the HP-UX stuff arrived weeks after the
Domain stuff.
no matter what we do, some things will always arrive faster [or slower!]
than others..

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you.
