I never saw any evidence that Carly even *knew* that HP had the HP3000.

I remember seeing her speak to the assembled throng at HP Bristol back 
in the early days of her tenure though - an inspirational speech of 
large promise and boundless horizons.

After which I went back to my desk and continued chipping away at a 
large block of COBOL, until I had fashioned a thing of wondrous beauty 
that nobody ever used in the end :-(
