John,
With the budget constraints in Washington we must limit your replies to just
1 per topic! :-)
I got 2.

Subject: Re: [HP3000-L] Memory Size Calculation Formula
Folks:
Thanks to all who are replying but...............
This is my response to my friend and colleague, JWP of Canada:
JWP:
Just what I needed- an open ended, unjustified, unempirical calculation to
present to management.
Of course as much memory as can fit in the machine.... or we can afford.
Now, JWP, how do I sell this idea with some facts, remembering that I work
for a County that has severly limited budget? FWIW in WA they passed (i.e.
the public voted for) Initiative I747 in November. This limits the county
government from levying more than a 1% (!) increase of property tax per
year. Curious, eh? Man those Canadians could use a dose of American
democratic principles(!)....
Any substantiation or reference to hp materials or something to quote/site
would be most appreciated.
TIA

I think another step is needed somewhere in this formula that says, "If
management approves".
I believe it goes before #6?
or
after #6?

Dear Listers:
IIRC there used to be some formula or rule of thumb whereby you can
calculate the memory needed to run x numbers of sessions on a 3000. Can
anyone out there refresh my admittedly sometimes senior memory? I can't find
anything in my hp manuals nor on hp's web site.
--------------------------------------------------------
Given the price of memory these days use the following formula.
1. Determine how much memory fits in your machine.
2. Determine how much memory you currently have.
3. Subtract #2 from #1.
4. Multiply the #3 times the cost of memory.
5. See how much money you have.
6. If #4 <= #5
Get the memory from #3
else
Get a little more money and buy #3.
