Yes, as a student.  However, in my two years working with two different
HP3000 systems, I have learned a great deal rather quickly.
Interestingly, last summer someone had a HP2000 system they could have
donated to us, with a whopping 10K programming space, and an OS based on
BASIC...  I have to say, I much rather prefer MPE on the 3000.
