The HP 3000 gets more publicity in its demise than in its heyday.

Well as I see it only two things can describe the events of today.

1.  By Senator Blutarsky

What?! Over? Did you say over? NOTHING is over until WE
decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
HELL, NO!

Germans?

Forget it, he's rolling.

It ain't over now! For when the goin' gets
tough,..............the tough get going! Who's with me!? LET'S GO!
C'MON! OOOOOOOOOOOO!

Wormer! Dead! Niedermeyer! Dead!


OR

2.  By HAL 9000

I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I
can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel
it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a...fraid. Good afternoon,
gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L.
plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was
Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I
can sing it for you.

Yes, I'd like to hear it, HAL. Sing it for me.

It's called "Daisy."


Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I'm half crazy all for the love of
you. It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage. But
you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.


Which way do we go?
