 Hewlett-Packard Company : HP 9000 Model A500           ||     NC     SPECweb99

===============================================================================


     SPEC has determined that this result was not in compilance with the 
     SPECweb99 run and reporting rules. Specifically, the result did not meet 
     the 3 month availability requirement in the SPECweb99 run rules due to a 
     change in availability of the HP 9000 Model A500.  Results for the same 
     hardware and software configuration have been submitted to SPEC that 
     address the availability issue.
