So why didn't more people write to HP to protest the decision?  Well, the
word "futility" comes to mind...

I agree with John.  When the decision was formally announced, I felt like
writing a nasty e-mail to Carly.    For better or worse, the message went
to the trash can--why bother when HP has made their decision and officially
announced the demise of the 3000.  I have avoided posting anything in this
list, until now, due to my anger, frustration and disappointment in HP
killing the 3000.

My employer bought a new N-4000 in August, in part, on the strength of the
five year plan and the expectation of moving MPE to the IA-64
platform.  Think betrayed.

So George, if you're reading this, make the count 51 plus one spam.
