In addition to Peter's funny story, Gavin suggested a few days ago that
someone host a series of pictures outlining the history of the HP3000. He
included us as one of the potential hosters. I thought to myself, heck, we
don't need to go find pictures of a great many of the ancient machines,
they're still in use here :-).

I couldn't take this picture until today because some of the cabling for my
digital camera was packed in the PC we used at HP World and it only arrived a
few hours ago. Now that it has arrived, I took the following photograph ten
minutes ago and put it up on the web in order to partially satisfy Gavin's
suggestion. The photo is at:
