Unfortunately, that HP doesn't exist any longer.

My faith in HP is now such that I expect Carly to leave within three to five
years and for HP to cease to exist in just a few years after that. The most
likely scenario that I can see is for Dell to buy HP solely for its printer
division and then sell off or dispose of the remainder of the divisions.
