[geeks] HP's squandering

[Andrew Weiss]

I've been all over the place with HP stuff this weekend... so that's 
why I've had it on my mind lately.

I've been going through about 40 machines and doing a linked 
spreadsheet with machine info from ioscan, swinfo, etc... and tying it 
to a parts list (cut and paste in partsurfer)... so I've basically had 
an instant and all weekend long education on just about the entire bulk 
of the 9000 line.

I'm tired...but need to read e-mail.

I think the 3000's are interesting and I want to play with them too.
