Hey. its true, the HP3000 is 25 years old. Its is also true its still
used by thousands to run their businesses. It is critical to the
operation of the companies, just about as critical as your heart is to you.
Now I ask you, if you were having a heart operation do you want the
person with 25 years experience and  knowledge, or do you want an
upstart who is still in training and learning the business, but keeps
promising to be as good as the big boys one day.

Simple facts, HP3000 is a great machine, its fast, reliable, easy to
use, and its alive and kicking in '99.

Anyone want a bet its still around in another 25 years when the
upstarts have run out of steam?
