Thanks, I really enjoyed the read, and I am truly fond of this excerpt:

As the madness of the internet boom of the 1990s took hold, the perception grew in Wall Street that HP was rather dull - all those middle-aged engineers thinking about quality and spending fortunes on R&D and being nice to one another. No thrusting, MBA-wielding brats in sight. But in the end, the board was persuaded and appointed just such a brat - Fiorina. 

Regards,

Ray Shahan
