While I would agree that it stands for 'electronic', I'm still baffled as to
what has powered the HP3000 for so many years until they moved to

I thing the correct answer is "electronic", like e(lectronic)-mail,
e(lectronic)Commerce, etc.?  ...........although Nick's answer is cute, I
don't think "elusive" totally fits the bill.
