I think that there is a lot of personal emotional resentment of HP's action
within the HP-3000 community due to this action also forcing us all to
re-invent ourselves technically.  This is above and beyond the hardware
costs, the software license costs, the conversion consultants costs, etc.
etc. etc.

I personally am pushing myself towards doing a lot of Windows type software
work in the future.  Taking the time and money to do this is OK for me as a
consultant but if I were an employee of a corporation and had to pay for this
out of my own pocket, and got laid off to boot...
