Hello to all HP3000 (and HPDESK) defenders!
 
I am getting bombarded with requests about replacing our HP3000-based
HPDESK with a lan-based E-mail system.
 
We've been using HPDESK for about 10 years, and I enjoy its reliability,
ease of management, and dependability. From the administration point of view,
its a real gem.
 
The biggest complaint from some of our users is the cost of connecting
to the HP3000 to run HPDESK. The approx. $100+ cost per copy of Reflection
is cited as the biggest factor.
 
Does anyone have access to a HPDESK vs. lan-based E-mail system comparison?
 
I have heard of one company during the SIG-Email at Toronto that moved
to a lan-based system and later regretted it. (I wished I took that person's
name and address).
 
I guess, what I am looking for is something that can be called
"1000 Reasons Why You Should Not Dump Your HPDESK for a Lan-based E-mail System"
 
Has anybody else been faced with
this request to dump Hpdesk, and how did it go? (Or am I one of the last
administrators to be converted to a lan-based e-mail system?)
 
Your 10 or more "Reasons" wil be greatly appreciated.
