You really have to question the ability and/or judgement of the BOD 6 years
ago (and however many are left today).  Didn't they question candidates
about their vision of the futurre of HP?  Did they think HP was going to
become king of the PC world?  Or storage world?  Or just what did Carly lay
out as her vision?  To sell the most iPods?

Where were future profits going to come from and why?  Isn't that the first
question you'd ask a CEO candidate?
