What is the matter with you people?
Where is the traditional support from the HP3000 community for others
interested in the HP3000?
Isn't the OpenMPE organisaton dedicated to spreading support for MPE/iX?

The guy just wants to learn about the HP3000 Operating System for heaven's
sake..

I would have thought that in this climate of diminishing resources for the
HP3000, the community would welcome a chance to extend knowledge of MPE/iX
to other area wherever they may be.

I am stunned by the hostility shown to this guy who is just asking for help.

I'm ashamed by the reaction and I hope someone has the balls to ignore the
nationalistic posturing and help this guy out.

Dusgusted.
