It's bad enough we have to endure the re-runs on tv.  Do we really need to
re-hash, re-run all these arguments again?

 My feeling is that the 3000's decline began when HP started getting into
the 3rd parties' act.
 By developing their own Accounts and Manufacturing packages.
 By developing their own 4GL.

 This meant that HP were competing with their largest partners.
 "A House Divided..."

 And where are the HP products now?
