Even my H-PUX oriented sales rep is impressed with where the 3000 is going.
Since I'm in the job market these days (thanks for all the offers and
notices!), I've found the *problem* is now that there aren't enough
knowledgeable staff to fill all the positions. At least one person told me
of a 3000 being phased out because they couldn't get staff! This sounds like
a job for local Interex user groups - hold "new user" training sessions and
dig out our old Interacts.

Mine's down now to 1/4 and I've been tring to *not* use it - but I can't
keep my hand away when the phone rings...help!
