Of course HP is evil; they've heavily partnered with Microsoft on NT 5.0/Win2K/Whatever they're calling it next week, and are the design partner with Intel on "IA64." They're trying to become the systems manufacturing partner in the unholy trio, it's just failing because they insist on making their hardware just weird enough it won't interoperate with standard hardware or software. Personally, I think it's a good thing their instruments division is getting rid of their computer division and keeping the only good part that came out of computer division - OpenView. I think the instruments division got first choice. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
