I would like to start a discussion thread.  I'm curious about how you are
leveraging new technologies to update/rejuvenate the 3000 (Samba, Apache,
Java, Reflection scripting for user interfaces, Visual Basic links to the
3000)?  What are you doing to give it a more "modern" feel and be more user
friendly (e.g. GUI interface)?  What have you done to make the 3000 more
powerful by providing information and access in new ways and, of course, we
have to make it prettier because that's what sells and makes people think it
is newer and better (sad but true).

In my world, we do not use Image databases or standard forms.  We do,
however, have extensive menus built with HP script.  I have tested the use
of host based Reflection scripts to provide a GUI interface to these menus
but there are some challenges with doing this such as size limitations of
host initiated scripts. I would like to hear about the approaches people
have taken and the lessons learned.  This is a big topic, but I think it
could spark some ideas.
