Wow, with this list I should never have to worry about finding HP3000 work!
Or, heaven forbid, publicly plead for help finding HP3000 work!  And only
$149.

Oh wait, someone years ago berated me for having any optimism for the HP3000
and claimed there was absolutely no future in it, and he was an HP3000
expert with (over?) 20 years experience as a well respected and connected
professional.  Maybe, it is not such a good deal after all.  Maybe most of
the people and companies have migrated away from the HP3000, and moved on to
greener pastures.  Still, think of the nostalgic value for only $149!
Anyone care to start a chorus of Auld Lang Syne!

I'm not all that up-to-date on the HP3000 anymore, but my simple mind tells
me that if I wanted a good current contact list of HP3000 people and
businesses, I should join the HP3000-L list.  Oh wait, I already am
subscribed!  Silly me!

Maybe, if I get a bit more nostalgic, I'll pull some old HP3000 periodicals
out of the attic and save myself a few bucks.

Pete, the simple minded smart ass.
