That's the idea.  HP is certainly doing a great job on the HP3000 itself
(witness IMAGE, as just one example with which I am closely involved; I am
sure you are closely involved with OTHER examples).  HP is also doing
outstanding work regarding the HP3000's connectivity with other platforms.

I could not agree with you more.  I guess there is always a fly in the
ointment.  Fortunately, such "less productive things" are a tiny minority
of the traffic, if you compare our tightly knit HP3000 community with other
computer-oriented forums.
