HP To Kill 3000 System After 30 years

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday November 14, 2001 @03:43AM from the somewhere-on-a-desert-highway dept.

James Ots writes "HP have announced that their 30 year old HP3000 series of computers will be joining their calculators on the scrapheap. Which is a shame, because a lot of work has gone into porting unix tools to the platform, and now we'll have to stop and port MPE (the HP3000 OS) tools to unix. Cnet have pre-announced the announcement, and the guys on comp.sys.hp.mpe don't seem too happy. (See also CSL's page on the story)"

Amen! I've been administering one of these dinosaurs for 2 years, and when I was forwarded this rumor last week, I placed an order for a celebration cake.
