Subject: [HP3000-L] Good bye and thanks for all the fish
Yesterday I turned off the HP3000 918 for the final time. It became surplus to requirements, finally.
It had been huimming away quite happily for the last several years without much in the way of maintenance and did what it does best being one of the best and most reliable online transaction processors ever built. For durability and reliability, it was without peer.
A rather sad event seeing as I have been working on HP3000's for the last
30+ years although very little in the last year or so.
For many years, I have been mostly a lurker on this list but have benefitted greatly from the massed HP3000 knowledge so amptly demonstrated by the other members of this list. To all the contributors, much thanks for all your help over the years.
So, sadly, this will be my final post to the list as I will no longer be seeking help in HP3000-land.
To all, best of luck.
Cheerio.
John Dunlop
