Interesting discussion, but I want to add something to the mix. I don't =
think the issue of whether or not life would go on with =
support/unsupported PowerHouse and HP3000 is possible.
We will never get to find out, because any firm with shareholders etc.. =
is not going to want to give any consideration to having their systems =
run on unsupported hardware and software. Who on earth would want to =
bet their career and providing systems in such an environment. What =
business would want their systems which support their ability to make =
money, operating under such
a premise.
I would bet within 3 years you'll be hard pressed to find an hp3000/ph =
site anywhere. In this ENRON environment,
company brass are going to be very anxious to have everything in the =
business, including their accounting=20
practices right and proper !
Its already difficult to find any sort of job/contract in the =
PowerHouse area. I live in Cognos's home town, and their is 0 =
PowerHouse work available period !=20
My 2 cents into the discussion...
