I'd hate to run anything other than HP-UX at home. Despite having a
house with around 100 C's class and even more 715/100s that I sell I
still use a 712/80 with 10.10 as my home system! It's never let me down
in 7 years plus and I can't see any reason to upgrade it for home use.
HP really need to focus on desktop unix, even a LITTLE more.

Which is very annoying :-(
