Post #193,828 by pwhysall 2/9/05 5:44:32 PM Reply	HP is Dead. The bit that made HP HP has long since gone and become Agilent. They're a second-string printer maker now. I just hope VMS gets sold to a company that knows what to do with it.

Post #193,832 by Another Scott 2/9/05 6:05:36 PM Reply	Intel's got Alpha. [link\|http://www.my-esm.com/digest/story/OEG20010626S0043\|Here] - from 6/2001. Intel got Alpha when Compaq bought DEC. HP used to have Itanium, but they mostly [link\|http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/12/16/hp_intel_itanic_shift/\|gave that back to Intel] too. HP doesn't have too much of interest now. :-( Cheers, Scott.

The decisions to buy Compaq, go mano-a-womano with Dell and the HP iPod were puzzling decisions. But then what do I know? I'm just an IT geek. lister
