Well first of all, any self-respecting man is going to do that anyway,
realistically.
I am willing to help out, to try and source stuff from the Western
German, to do measurements on my own 4195A, anything. But PLEASE, let us
keep it online on the list.
People can, and do, die, thereby making their knowledge unavailable. I,
for one, am pretty close - domestic warfare, as my adoptive kid calls
it, is starting to wear me down.
Despite all the money I've paid to hit men trying to eradicate them,
there are still a few topic nazis on this list. I say this wearing my
"one of the moderators of this mailing list" hat.
Now that's not to say the topic of getting HP computers set up to run
HP software to work on HP test equipment is anything but 100% kosher
squarely on-topic here...it is. But there are a number of old farts
(even older than you and I!) among us who seem to cling to the erroneous
belief that everyone here is a hobbyist playing in their garage, and
therefore obviously excludes anything that might need computer
assistance to calibrate.
So yes, keep such discussions here. Getting HP-9000s set up properly
to run the software in question is not always easy, and many of us would
benefit from having such discussions live on in the list archives.
I'm off to spend the rest of the day cleaning up tornado damage at the
museum. Maybe when I'll come back, installing RMB on an HP-9000 will be
a solved (and archived!) problem. =)
