there is no good new that coms direct from HP since 11/14/01.

the words <<commitments to maintain>>
Hmmm
maintain and commitment are again words from HP that mean nothing to the HP3000 users. Service for the HP3000 even with contracts are at best no better than a joke.
<<Sorry if those points weren't clear in my earlier posting>>
The only thing clear from HP is that the HP3000 users have been screwed over time and time again.

As for Kens comments. HP has made only one thing clear to all in the HP3000 community. YOU GET NOTHING BUT A SONG and DANCE. When the music stops there will be nothing left to chair.

Mike you may be an advocate for the HP3000 but do you really think your company stands by you? Look around and look into the eyes of the people that make the decisions to help. If you are not looking at an honest person then how can you work with them.

comments are my own but I think shared by many.
