This is big, big news. Might be the end of Carly, but is it too late
for HP to be saved?

Maybe HP ought to be split up into several companies:

Printers and Copiers (Jetset)
Network equipment and software (Omniview)
Intel and PA-RISC server Hardware (Netserver)
Personal Computers (? - sell it to Compaq)
Unix software (HPUX)
MPE software (MPEforever)

AT least this way, MPE could fight on it's own instead of being
shoved out of the way.
