Carly is probably too subtle in her remarks, but she might have
been thinking of MPE-IMAGE:

Some tidbits from the article:

    "Customers now realize that it is not the glamour of technology
    that is most important; it is return on technology that is most
    important," Fiorina said.

    Customers are no longer interested in "hot boxes and the latest
    killer apps," but want to lower their technology costs and align
    IT with business requirements. HP can offer that, Fiorina told a
    record 3,970 attendees at the company's annual European event.

    "What I take home from this keynote is that she talked a lot
    about return on investment," Olsen said. "This change away from
    hot boxes and killer apps is especially true for large companies.
    Small companies still look for the best feeling when buying IT."

    "Fiorina relates technology to actual life really well. It is no
    more technology for the technology's sake, it is technology for
    actual business," said Kullab.


Good job, Carly.
