This happened here.  There was a technical school south of us (Stark 
Tech) that used the HP3000 to teach programming and such.  I used to 
call their placement office whenever I was looking for programmers. 
About 5 years ago, they switched to Wintel machines and PC compilers. 
I was not happy when the placement office told me that, and told them 
they had just lost their uniqueness, and I wouldn't be bothering them 
anymore.
