Yes, my contribution is from my own pocket, and no, it won't be a business
deduction.  I currently am working on a non-HP platform but still have a lot of
love and respect for the HP 3000.  Someday I'd like to get back to it again, and
I hope it's still around by then.  The $37 I committed to a couple of days ago
is a bit of a stretch for me at present, but my check will go out tomorrow
because this is something in which I believe strongly.

BTW, I really appreciated the things Winston Prather said and I'm glad someone
like him is working to enhance the 3000's position within HP.  But I still think
the ad campaign is a good idea.  If nothing else, it ought to demonstrate to his
management that he has a loyal user base with which to work.

Subject:  [HP3000-L] We got some attention one way or the other!!!!!



       I still insist on spending your scarce budget dollars on enhancing a
variety of skills instead of staying limited to the mpeix operating system.
More often than not projects require a mix bag of tools and operating systems to
make them a reality.

       Winston Prather spoke.  Let's see what happens.

       Wirt, nice advertisement I must admit.  I can't equate the HP3000 to a
"Database engine".  Are you referring to "Image"?  I know that there is not one
without the other but I think that the word Image would be well placed there.
One question. Is anybody contributing money out of their own pocket, that is not
a business deduction?  :)
