Have a heart, Lars.

The first, and to a lesser extent the second, are 'referred pain' from
the demise of the HP3000.

The protagonists are harking back to safer and more certain times, but
cannot *quite* bring themselves to face the real source of the angst,
and so are projecting those halcyon days of happy and stable HP3000
usage into an earlier time of happiness and stability.

Or is it 'transference'? Anyway, a psychologist would understand...

But yes, as regards the last two misdemeanours, may they be sentenced to
watching endless reruns of 'I Love Lucy', while moving their entire
HP3000 workload onto HP-UX, too quickly and too expensively, and having
to support the resulting carnage...... :-)
