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.
