While we are looking for old videotapes, does anyone have a copy of the
spoof of the IBM commercials that was done during Interex in Anaheim '96?
It featured 2 nun's conversing about their system needs and ended asking
Mother Superior aka George Stachnik.  I believe it was only aired at the
conference itself.

... and you remember the video "the extremest computer test forever" or so
when George Stachnik et al. tumbled an HP3000 from a roof down to the
parking area and finally the server survived and booted ?

Looks alike what hp does with MPE - and we victims currently do hope that
the OS will survive like this piece of H/W after the fall ...

Just a remark - the other video I do not know ...

Have a good day, Andreas, CSC, Germany

Hi HP3000-L,

A volunteer has already stepped forward to send me a copy.  Thanks!
