No More HP Manuals on BAMA

[Computer Collector Newsletter]

Storage, too -- they sell lots of expensive storage stuff -- midrange stuff
from the Compaq legacy and high-end stuff from Hitachi Data Systems.  HP has
a huge services business too.

You are only looking at the consumer products division. The HP 9000 stuff is
still made, and still the HP quality most people appreciate. Last I checked
(a couple years ago), the consumer products division was not frequently the
majority of their revenue. It occasionally on a quarterly basis surpassed
the mini & other stuff "side of the house"... but it wasn't lik 90% of their
revenue. And the higher end intel boxes HP sells, are extremely well made.
