I was thumbing through the June issue of Computer Graphics World
when I noticed a big glossy ad that HP has out for its
*new* color 3D graphics workstation. (sorta reminiscent of
a DN4000 or something, although definitely an HP, NOT Apollo).
I guess an obvious couple of questions is: 

(1) seeing as how HP just bought a leader in 3D graphics
workstations, wouldn't you expect that the A-word would have been
used somewhere in the new advertising campaign?

-- conversely, --

(2) If HP has decided to go into the business of manufacturing
its own Apollo-style workstations (apparently without actually 
involving Apollo),  why did they feel compelled to buy them out 
in the first place? 

Oh, and I suppose:
(3) Should present and potential future Apollo owners 
be concerned?
