I wasn't at all impressed with their stand at the UK Unix exhibition last summer (Alexandra Palace, I think). Although they had a number of the 9000/3?? machines on demo, there was no-one at the show who knew anything about hp-ux (h-pux as someone once said). The guy who I talked to said that they had just been at a CAD/CAM exhibition, where no-one had asked them about Unix, so they didn't expect much hassle at the Unix show!
