How far back do you want to go?  In addition to our series 800 and 300
"state-of-the-art" stuff, we still support BCS on an HP1000/E!!

(OK, I know most of you never heard of BCS...it pre-dated RTE, and
uses paper-tape for mass storage -- yes, we are obliged even to
support paper tape! :-(

How about HP-Algol? (we ported that from RTE-II to RTE-6/VM in order
to continue supporting hundreds of application programs!)

And we've got lots of HP150 software....

Problem with HP is that their machines never break! :-)
(We still have BCS-based machines on the manufacturing floor which
no-one wants to replace because they work so well... )
Arrrrgggg!!!!
