I want to thank everyone who offered feedback, in response to my post on
Friday,  on the HP 3000 "wakes."

Many who offered feedback said the system had unusual reliability, and
that's why there is strong emotional connection to it.

No doubt, many will likely "homestead" on this system -- so here's my next
question:.

Once HP ends support in 2006, how long do you think companies will
realistically be able to homestead on the HP 3000 for production systems?

Also, let me just ask this: for those who attended a "wake" -- do you think
this was a one-time only event? Will future ones be held? Will something
come out of these events?

Again, thanks to those who offered feedback.

Sincerely,
Patrick Thibodeau
