Ohhhh, I don't know about that.  I've been working with HP3000's for 12 years
now, and not once have I worked for a HMO or Mail Order place.  I don't think
that the loss of these will kill the HP3000.  It might hurt it some, but there
is life out there beyond HMO and Mail Order.

I know of many different manufacturing companies, oil refineries, a Car
manufacturer, and several educational institutions that rely on the HP3000.
(Not to mention an Airplane manufacturer, and Government sites; both military
and civilian)
