Hi Michael, The 3000 is a GREAT machine. In 27 years, it hasn't let me down. My PCs, on the other hand, do that a couple of times a day. So I share your sentiments about the 3000's reliability. However, as much as we'd like, it cannot be an island in today's world. Interoperability has been, and will continue to be, one of the keys to its continued longevity. Here I go, preaching to the choir, but evangelism is one of the other keys.
