I guess they have a short memory.
 
I requested a hp3000 port last June. I had a nice discussion with the rsa
folks and they sent some info for their various programs. I offered to make
a 3k available and they were tentatively interested.
 
But then, we happen to be located in the same city...
 
Maybe I could drive over there with a 917, look the other way as they
compile the source code, leave a check for the license then take them to
lunch to cover the porting costs...
 
But then, it couldn't be that easy...could it?
