Personally I don't think I care :-) I think the key is to only post what is newsworthy and avoid anthing that's fluff. Hearing that DEC is going to take Ultrix to OSF is probably newworthy, heare Ken Olson comment on the state of the makets probably isn't. I case you guys (DEC) don't want to blow your own horn too much, I don't have problems posting some of the stuff as a third party, as long as the info is pretty obviouly free of distribution restrictions. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)

Personally I don't think I care :-) I strongly agree with the posting of such material to comp.unix.ultrix. We in Europe wouldn't get that kind of information so fast, if it wasn't posted to the Net. cheers Jens Trier Rasmussen
