Finding someone capable and willing to take over for Carly will not be a problem, and I don't think they'll have to pay an $80 million signing bonus (stock grant) to hire them. JMO, Bob PS: I don't know what the hardware was. In the past, IBM's been the big Olympic computing vendor, haven't they? And wasn't Gateway running adds as the official PC supplier this time? PPS: Wasn't there also an HWP deal to supply Jornados for the media at the games? Maybe I imagined that one.

>>At this point there's no good way out for HP<<< Layoffs will happen if the merger takes place and likely more layoffs is the merger is cancelled. CPQ seems to have a better business plan for selling Computers on the internet than does HWP. Its my opinion that CPQ is better focused at the current time than is HWP. >>>they'll have to find new management<<< Fair enough...but what kind of quality manager would want to run HWP and have Wally as a smelly fish second guessing his or her strategies?.
