Nah, it's reasonably successful as "the latest version of PA-RISC," and
seems to be successful as far as it goes in that role.

Of course, it still hasn't replaced HPaq's Alpha machines, but I suspect
that if they can get VMS/Itanic stable, it will successfully replace the
Alphas (at least in that role... is anyone still buying them as Unix
machines, or have they already killed them for that?)
