I subscribe to the 3000 mailing list, and there seems
to be one other
complaint... licensing the OS. I am no expert on the matter, but I've
gotten the impression that HP can be a real bear to deal with when it
comes to licensing the OS for users. It simply can get too expensive
for a hobbyist to run MPE...
A complaint, yes, but really has nothing to do with why 3000s are so
scarce. Really, it is hard to beat the IBM AS/400 group for being
disagreeable when it comes to licenses.
I think DEC spoiled us.
