Group-
I don't 'talk' much, but I have to speak up and back what Cecil says below.
HP doesn't know what they have in the 3000, and never have.  Not since the
early flap in the 70's, it was sold only when buyers wanted it.  Much like
the 1000, once the 9000 came out.  Not working, but out none the less.  The
1000 is alive and well, and the 3000 kicks tush as well.  I am sick of HP
salesmen not even knowing their product line.  MHO.
