Storage, too -- they sell lots of expensive storage stuff -- midrange stuff
from the Compaq legacy and high-end stuff from Hitachi
Data Systems. HP has
a huge services business too.

AFIK that's all that HP makes. Aglient now makes
test equipment. The
consumer grade stuff made by HP is JUNK! Even the test equipment made
by Agilent isn't nearly as good as that built by HP only a few years ago.
You are only looking at the consumer products division. The HP 9000 stuff is
still made, and still the HP quality most people appreciate. Last I checked
(a couple years ago), the consumer products division was not frequently the
majority of their revenue. It occasionally on a quarterly basis surpassed
the mini & other stuff "side of the house"... but it wasn't lik 90% of
their
revenue. And the higher end intel boxes HP sells, are extremely well made.
