Chad,

    You are absolutely right.  George S. at HPWorld told the story of how
a customer had taped this after they had replaced the 3000 with another
machine (Unix?).  They wanted to know what to do with the 3000.  They
decided it would be fun to throw it off the building.  One of the
companies employees wanted to take the 3000 home with him.  He got to take
it home after it was thrown off the building (and it still worked).

    This is what I remember of the story George told about that video.
All CSY had to do was edit it together.  I liked it myself!!!
