Our high school HP2000 started out as the 2000E variety, then was upgraded
to 2000C', and finally to 2000 Access. It's lovable name was HUEY.

Right next to it was our other high school machine, a PDP-11/03 running
RT-11 with TSX+ extensions. It's name was DUEY. (I have already gotten
several machines of mine up and running RT-11 with TSX+).

Gee - I wonder what they would have named a third system if we had it ;)
