Haha.   After posting that email, I realized that they accidentally forwarded an entire conversation between two HP staffers discussing the email.


I was a bit confused by the email when I got it, too.

PR fail.

Hello All,

I just received the below email from HP.   Did anyone else get it?   It's quite interesting, but I'm also trying to figure out exactly where and when I told HP I was a VMS fan.   I don't recall ever getting anything from HP in the past because of my hobbyist license registration.   Wondering what others think about this - both from the 'HP reaching out' aspect as well as the aspect of promoting a port-it-to-VMS project.

Ian
