They told us 8 or 9 years ago that the 3k wasn't going away.  Remember?

>From the article:

"Paul Gerke, systems administrator for Clark County in Vancouver, Wash.,
from being concerned. Quarterly news can change very quickly," said
Gerke, adding that, for now, Clark County intends to remain on its
PA-RISC, HP-UX Unix-based systems and has no immediate plans to upgrade.
"You have to wonder, if we start seeing declining results for Unix, is
that the next thing?..."

It's nice to know others are thinking this.  I raised the question about
the future of HP's Unix boxes and was reassured by HP folks, at a user
conference shortly after they announced the demise of the 3000, that the
Unix boxes were stronger than ever and would remain so.

Do I dare believe them again?

Fool me once, shame on you......
