Dear Dave, You started out with the antagonistic view of this merger, as if it were warfare and not a union. You used words like "weaker", "stronger". Your idea of a merger of "equals" was Burroughs and Sperry Rand, and we all know how WELL that one worked... Here is what you wrote to Lynn: Lynn, I have to say that I hope the CPQ employees don't share your attitude. It's not a new day -- it's simply an acquisition of a weaker competitor by a stronger competitor. HP did not need CPQ -- your excitement over product announcements that you thought were "new" that have actually been going on continually shows that. If it was really a merger of equals, they would have done something like Burroughs and Sperry Rand did and come up with a new name. I am looking forward to Tuesday when Carly and Mike will celebrate with ALL employees the start of a NEW and powerful computer company. I do hope that I will hear a much more positive view of this merger than your "dog eat dog" ... I see that you don't work for HP, you are a consultant. On the other hand I DO work for HP. I am not Piotr_K, but Piotr Koziol, and I do not hide behind last name initials... We have at least one thing in common, as I see we are both MIT graduates. Let's hope it's "a beginning of a beautiful friendship" as they said in Casablanca... :^) Piotr
