Hi all -
 
Yesterday, I sent this message to hp3000-l and receieved 3 copies of the
"held" message from the l-soft-server (or whatever).  I never did see the
message on HP3000-l (I am set to mail repro.)
 
Anyway, could someone bounce a message back to me that this message made
it.
 
Thanks  /alan
 
Now here is the unix vs HP3000 stuff.

I think "the people who have been running the business...want us to move
from the HP3000 to Unix" are saying this.  We have always been an HP3000
shop, but now some software packages that we need are only available on
Unix.
 
These moves are dictated by software availablity....which is dictated by
installed base....which is dictated by software avaibility....(you get the
picture)   Before anyone adds, yes a little Marketing always helps.
 
as always, my opinion....
