Whether ia64 will survive longer than PA-RISC is hard to say. HP
has a plan but plans can change. I personally don't care about
HP's plans and they don't really affect my choice in supporting
PA-RISC. It's reports like this that matter to me:

Same here; there are still a lot of issues with my C3000, but that does
not mean it's not great; the machine runs and is stable, even with the
USB and frame buffer issues. Totally stable. I am VERY PLEASED with
the progress that has been made on HPPA linux; this machine is now one
I depend on, because I know I can.
Thanks for all the work.
Sorry for off topic response.
