Seconded! I don't think "helpful" comes close to describing his attitude!

I think HP is a model for how classy a giant computer company can really
be. Their attitude toward us home enthusiasts is, "well, we had the
software ready for someone to use...why not send it out to hobbyists for
free as well!" I could hardly believe that they not only offered me the
full install set (full subsys tapes, everything), but then he's including
extra system manuals and tips on avoiding installation pitfalls as well! I
am absolutely blown away...thanks again, Stan...

Cheers,

Aaron
