A Model 44 years? :-)

Of which I have been around HP3000s for 37 of them, starting with a 
Series III and the UK's first MM3000 installation, and I am still 
working on an installation of four HP3000 servers, three of which line 
your pockets, a little, once a year :-)

Our new CTO is committed to driving out legacy systems as a top priority 
though, so another 2-5 years tops, maybe.

But the one server they (and we) have been trying really hard to shut 
down has already outlasted two Decommissioning Co-ordinators.

There is powerful juju in the 'Old Boys', as the HP3000s are 
affectionately known in the office :-)
