Comparison to cars is a little stretched. If cars would have evolved a
quarter as much as computers have, we could tell it where to go and get
there and sleep on the way. Seems the thought is that the HP3000 is an
ancient dinosaur. Just maybe it's then a crocodile. In terms of cars, my
1968 AMX can still have a updated CD player installed and still beat the
pants off a new Mustang that will choke at the shift. Not working for HP,
but I still praise the equipment to everyone. Ease of use, peace of mind,
and the capabilities to all that anyone else can do is it's testament. New
(?) technologies such as client server and web serving are old hat. I have
been exposed to IBM, TI, Burroughs, Digital, AT&T, Unisys and even Wang. On
those levels there is no competition for the HP. The hardware is superb and
the software applications exist to do jobs PC people thought were
specifically suited to their environment. Cars now a days need
lots-o-tension, as opposed to cars bought when they were built when you
couldn't afford to buy a car every year. I suppose if you buy a Ferrari
annually and say get rid of that old Testarosa cause they changed the fuel
injectors you could keep up, but it's still the same functionality.  With
the help of third party software, the HP 3000 can easily match the
capabilities of any PC network without all of the rebooting. Sorry for the
long winded message, and it not making sense, but I love the HP 3000 and
stand behind it 110%.  It has never let me down, and we do as much as
possible with it.

The message you have just received is too large to be displayed
