So, does anybody know anything about this Peter Blackmore?  Any sense as to
if this is good, bad, or neither?

Thanx,

Merger creates $87 billion entity; firms expect $2.5 billion savings
in product, employee consolidations

        HP took the biggest bite of another firm in the company's
history today, announcing it will take over PC and server maker
Compaq Computer in a $25 billion deal. Members of both companies'
boards of directors have agreed to the merger. The remaining company
will be called Hewlett-Packard - but the group that includes e3000
operations will be led by Compaq's executive vice president of sales
and services, Peter Blackmore.
