Hi Alfredo :) (and others who have posted success stories)

      Your comments made me think.... (Quit Laughing Rich!! hehehe)

      I spend more time managing (and troubleshooting!) my 50 node Novell
network and it's associated hardware and software systems than I do my HP 3k 957
which is used even more....

       hmmm.... Listening up HP???

Do you believe that this has changed now?  I think you have an excellent
selling point for NEW HP3000s right now, at the end of the 1990s  :-)

Now that you are at HP, perhaps you can internally bend their ears a little
bit...
