Hi all,

This is a particulary interesting thread to me since I have spent the last
15 years or so traveling around to a lot of HP 3000 sites.  I thought that
I would throw out some past and present users of HP 3000's.  Hopefully this
doesn't violate any non-disclosures!!

Coca Cola
Pepsi Cola
Kentucky Fried Chicken
Bose Corporation
Klipsch Corporation
3M
General Mills

It's interesting to me that you could be served by an HP 3000 if you:

Fly somewhere
Drive somewhere
Take a bus somewhere
Order fancy-schmancy stationary paper products
Use bathroom paper products (sorry)
Need insurance
Use toothpaste
Need some drywall
Need a cardboard box
Go to the hospital
Need some lab tests
Like Colorado
Need a disk drive
Need to mailorder a disk drive
Need the best audio speaker systems in the world
Need cheaper good audio speaker systems
Drink Pepsi
Drink Coke
Eat KFC
Eat breakfast cereal
Need worker's comp
Complain about the city government in Pomona, California.


You get the idea...
