Chuck,

in your message you gave the URL : (watch for wrap)

In that article, it gives the URL for a chat forum at CBS marketWatch
which appears to be frequented by some HP Employees. (watch for wrap)

Reading through some of the posts it appears that Carly doesn't have
the support she claims. There seems to be a feeling that Carly's
outsourceing, restructuring and layoffs have permanently destroyed the
HP Way, the merger with Compaq is ill-advised and there is resentment
about the supposed $55 million rewards to upper management if the
merger goes through. It seems that Carly could well be on the way out
she looks to be taking most of the HP Board with her. Another post
mentions a class action suit taken out against all the board except
William Hewlett.... Hmmm

Cheers,

John Dunlop
