One of my greatest joys in life is to study languages of all
sorts.  An integral part of this study is to appreciate people
who are language masters.  Johann Sebastian Bach comes to mind
in terms of musical languages (he could take a theme and play
it forward and backwards, right-side up and upside down, as the
foundation for a complex fugue, and so on).  There are several
distinguished colleagues who never cease to amaze me with their
brilliant contributions to hp3000-L.

The challenge is on.  Users of the hp3000 computer have produced
lots of good material.  Can our hp friends now come up with something
better than "ecosystem"?  :-)
