It has been awhile since anyone railed about HP's lack of commitment
to the HP 3000. In fact this list has been somewhat docile regarding
the entire topic. Does anybody care anymore? Or has HP convinced
everyone they *really do care* about the 3k?
Well I do and here is a short story to blow cold chills over what
once were warm cockles of your heart:
We recently responded to a competitive joint bid (multiple organizations)
where one of the organizations already has an HP 3000 (and I believe an
office of HP is located in the general vicinity).
Unfortunately, our HP 3000 only solution was downgraded because of just
that - it runs on the HP 3000.
To paraphrase the site already owning the HP 3000:
"We are NOT confident of HP's commitment to the 3000, and in fact
feel HP has been sending STRONG messages that they are abandoning
MPE in the not too distant future."
Ouch.
