  Hi Paul,  No ... after many hours of helping and

 members, for the OS.  No one came through after 1 year.  I even

 I then asked again for a tape with out any luck.  I finally asked for
  the key back, which I did get back.   This is where my 3000 are
 today.   For the most part I seem to help a lot of list members with
 media and the like but never seem to get much help myself . 
  Forgive me for jumping in.  That seriously sucks.  I have no HP3000
gear, otherwise I'd try to help.
  I have
 had better luck with usenet, but that is really dying. 
  Not from my perspective.  My news server receives, on average, a
steady 900,000 (no typo) articles per month.  That has remained steady
for the past year.  Some of that is spam, but there's a lot less on
Usenet than in email, and most of it seems to be concentrated in
comp.lang.fortran more than anywhere else.
