When the HMC first came out I thought it was a festering road apple.  But 
now I rather like it.

I like the remote access capabilities.

Firmware and HMC maintenance is a discomfort.  Beats having a proprietary 
terminal though that in order to upgrade it you had to have a CE come out 
and replace a chip.

Also I've had to replace a lot of failing twinax terminals.  The switches 
on 3196s broke like potato chips.  Only had to replace 1 HMC but that was 
because of issues that the average customer would not experience (let's 
leave it at that).
