The most important message that didn't make it over from the newsgroup onto
HP3000-L was posted by Jon Cohen on the 9th, the day the gateway broke. I've
copied it below.

========================================
We at CSY will be giving Harry a "roast" before he leaves. Do any of you
in the 3000-L community have any funny and/or embarassing anecdotes
that we can use & share?
PLEASE DO NOT POST THESE ON 3000-L OR comp.sys.hp.mpe.
Harry reads these lists, and we want to surprise him.
Please e-mail your stories to me
