It is truly unfortunate that the survey pruported to be requested by HP
terminates with
         File does not exist (or the FileSystemObject could not be created).

 Believing that completing the survey might bring some well deserved
attention to the 3000 seems appropriate now that we are approaching the
Halloween season. Yes, trick or treat time. No treats though, only tricks.
It is quite apparent that the survey's underlying technology was not tested
by its developer(s). How sad. The very technology that some would say should
replace the dinosaur 3000 cannot even go to a normal end of job. Oh, EOJ,
did I give my Neanderthal ways away. My first Hp was a 2100MX. In 1977 I
began developing applications on a Series II. I am no new-comer to the HP
environment and all that that means. Our information industry has changed
exponentially since then but our job as systems personnel has not. We are
about the business of our respective industries. The 3000 has been the
backbone of my company's information system for over two decades because it
is reliable. It does not terminate with page faults and continue to do so
repeatedly for all the world to see. If this SURVEY is truly commissioned by
HP, EVERYONE, please let HP know about this pathetic show of support for us.
If Hp really cares about our ideas and concerns then lets hear from them.
This survey only suggests a pat on the head and a rub on the belly from HP
and its representatives. The 3000 deserves better than this.
