Not then, then it was DEC and that DEC is not HP.
To talk cars, you can comparis DEC with VW and HP with a mix of Citroen and
Mercedes (Cit for the ideas Merc for the building :-)

Didn't HP uy Comapq, adter Compaq had bought DEC? So I guess

My original comment was made tongue-in-cheek, of course.

I think that's a littke unfair. HP had some clever designs and made them
very well. DEC had some equally clever designs, and made them well. And
both made some darn poor products (to be honest, I don't think the HP120
CP/M machine is a particularly good design!).
