Y'all might be interested to know that I'm scheduled to go on Thursday to give
a short talk to our School of Computing regarding building a curriculum around
the HP3000.  I could use help in two areas.  First, if any of you think it
would be likely that within the next 4 years or so you'd be looking for HP3000-
trained graduates (quite possibly with actual work experience in our area) I'd
appreciate it if you could send me some idea of how many, what type (operator,
programmer, whatever), and how soon (and how likely :-).  This is obviously not
a commitment of any kind, what I'm after is summary numbers so I can show them
the need.  Second, there was at HPWorld a lady from HP who worked with
companies, trying to connect them up with 3000-knowledgeable folks.  If someone
could give me a pointer as who she is and how to contact her, I would be most
grateful.  To preserve bandwidth, send your replies to me at

What is it indeed that gives us the feeling of elegance in a solution, in a
demonstration? It is the harmony of the diverse parts, their symmetry, their
happy balance; in a word it is all that introduces order, all that gives
unity, that permits us to see clearly and to comprehend at once both the
ensemble and the details.
