Ya, I saw that, but I thought HPQ said that there would be no 4000 series device because the number 4 is severally unlucky in Japan, kind of like our "666."

Actually, 4 and 9 are considered unlucky in Japan. Not because of any numerical value, but because the way they sound when spoken...
Basically, they end up sounding like the Japanese word for dying or torture, respectively...
