Apparently seeing his company deteriorate led to his death. Hewlett
Packard once produced equipment of very high quality, but, alas, it's
product quality has greatly deteriorated and HP appears to consist
mostly of marketing smoke and mirrors, only remaining in business
because of the once excellent products that are associated with the
company name.

Well, their home computers are crap, but I love their server line. We just
got a new dual-processor PA-RISC 2.0 L-class and it flies.
Besides, all of the stuff Bill Hewlett was famous for, like electronic testing
equipment and so on, got spun into Agilent, didn't it?
