My previous employer had both a Micro 3000 and the Series 37, as well as a
newer RISC machine (a 7xx model??)  They were going to dump the 37, so it
eventually ended up in my house.  The ironic part is that a couple of years
ago, I dumped all my college HP-3000 notes, manual photocopies, etc during
a move, thinking I'd never use it again... :-)

The Micro 3000 was cool, as it had an ethernet adapter, as well as more
serial ports.  I think the Micro 3000 was a newer machine.
