The missed earnings follow the company's announcement on September 22 that it would meet fourth-quarter earnings and revenue targets.
Ah yes, women have broken through the glass ceiling now that they can lie through their teeth like a male CEO. <GG>
Actually, I get no greater satisfaction in a bear mkt than to see HWP fall. I owned a P-I 200Mhz H-P that was worse than all the reports about Packard Bell, Acer, etc. and I found their customer support unresponsive and unable to come close to resolving things or providing satisfaction.
It used to freeze as much as 6-10 times a day! The last effort, I was told to pull out the SCSI scanner card and added RAM that had been added after purchase, to run the recovery disk, and if any problems emerged, they'd have me ship it there, where it'd be repaired or replaced.
After doing this (and it was the 14th time I'd run recovery in 20 months), they denied saying they'd made any such offer. Needless to say, it'll be 20 years or so before I consider buying anything HP, even though I love their printers.
I forgive folks far quicker than I forgive corporate arrogance. Enjoy the fall, HWP! |
