No kidding...
I remember when this list was great for techie info and how to solve
problems on the HP3000.
Now it seems most of all the postings here are about Bush, Kerry and other
such drivel that means nothing to anyone on this list...
Am I the only idiot deadhead who has technical issues that needs help
sometimes (ok, maybe too many times) ?
Or maybe most HP3000-L posters are unemployed bums like me, who don't have
anything to do during the day?
(I have my own box at home and that is where I'm doing all my E3K stuff)
HP3000 forever, KSAM sucks, Fred White for President, Alfredo Rego for Vice
President and Rene Woc for Secretary of State... 2008, boys.. I'll vote for
you! Of course, only if you hire me as Secretary of Defense :-)
Brian.
P.S -- Here's to my next posting regarding some techie issue I may have in
the future!
