So anyway, back to the details, how does the merged company produce upside in revenues? From whom does HPQ take market share? Thnaks. Elroy

< ... needs to have that "cutsie" hairdo that has her bangs in her eyes > NOT being a woman ---- I think she is cute .... & wonderfully aggressive. <Perhaps that is some of what they each saw in the deal?> Their meshing of talents is a REAL ++, ... what I believe is missing is a CFO with REAL talent --- as I've suggested before, Larry Wienbach - CEO of Unisys (ex-Pres of Anderson Consulting) would be perfect AND if he brings his company/consulting-power with him @ a reasonable $$ - it would be even more wonderful

Dear Kirk: Since you asked for some female input on the following, I'll take a stab before returning outside to continue burning a tree stump: "Now if one of the female members here could explain to me why a woman with so much power STILL needs to have that "cutsie" hairdo that has her bangs in her eyes so she has to blink too much?" First, to be perfectly fair, you must realize that I hate bangs (for myself). On many people they look nice, but they don't have a very inconveniently placed cowlick (sp??), as do I. I also don't like the 'feel' of hair on my face so when I see Carly, what I think is, "How can she stand that hair in her eyes?" It's not the look; it's the assumed feel. That said and given I'm a newbie HP shareholder who knows dip-squat about Carly's personal life _and_ has not learned anything juicy about her via the cover of either The Sun or The National Inquirer when I'm in the supermarket line (yet), her significant other might like them. It could be as simple as this: Either she herself likes the look [and doesn't mind that hair in her eyes] or her significant other does. Considering Carly's position, she can wear any hair-do she likes. Should she decide to grow her hair and go with Shirley Temple ringlets I doubt if anyone will complain, other than maybe her significant other. Should she decide to alter her taste in business dress and opt for the kind of outfit Jamie Lee Curtis wore during the train scene of Trading Places ["I'm Olga from Sveeden."] she could get away with it. Her significant other might really like this. Michael's wife might not. Heck, I think Carly can do just about anything she likes and get way with it with the possible exception of chewing tobacco. Now... Making a detailed, highly scientific study of the relationship between females who have bangs and corporate status at HP, I am able to make the following statement: HP discriminates against women who do not have bangs!!! Yes, take a look for yourself: thenew.hp.com Including Carly, four of the six women on this page are bangers [people with bangs, not English sausages]. Why, even HP's home page screams out, "We cater to women who have bangs:" thenew.hp.com I better keep these results to myself. The last thing the new HP needs is an expensive, class action bang discrimination suit against it. Best regards, Lynn
