Only when HWP became HPQ, did debt become part of the picture. HPQ had debt prior to the acquisition of Compaq (that's when it changed from HWP to HPQ). I'm looking at their fiscal '95 balance sheet and it shows $3.2b in short term debt at $660m in long term debt. u are mistaken. Am I now? Well the HPQ website doesn't go back to 1996, but here's a link to HPQ's fiscal 2000 annual report. Page 50 shows short term debt of $3.1b and long term debt of $1.8b. library.corporate-ir.net I'm not mistaken, I am - in fact - spot on.
