If I recall, David Packard's book "The HP Way" which was published in around 1995 or 1996, has a reference in it suggesting that end of life was not too far away for the HP3000. I remember thinking it an odd statement to be making in a book like that. I have the book at home and will look it up later. * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
