If anyone has right contacts in eg HP/Compaq &/or US EPA (Environmental
Protection Agency ?) & other national agencies that compile lists of
preferred hardware for government agency acquisition,  .... ?

We could use that edge to get some good PR & HP/Compaq might get a
lot of government sales so might be keen to help - if anyone knows
right address so an approach isn't lost in spam.
