Alfredo -
 I remember hauling a$$ from Concord to Santa Cruz for
your Talk at Santa Cruz. You and Fred were the
greatest as was my HP3000 career. I think(?) I'm
retired now. Great product, great support, great
price, great OS and hardware. It was a great run - I'm
afraid it's over but I think I've accepted it finally.
 
    I went to the WWWake here in Roseville CA thinking
I'd make job contacts.  Fifty some attendees.  Turned
out they were the guys building the machine.

   Anyway it was a great ride. (damn I think I said
great alot!)
