Geez,

Here we go again.  What brainchild at HP Marketing came up with this
naming campaign?  I guess it's
the "change the name to something familiar so HP can say it hasn't gone
away!"  game all over.

I can't wait for the lawsuit against HP that claims trademark
infringement.  But, this time the suit will be
brought by HP's customers.  That is, if HP can keep any customers!!

Just my two cents on this very twisted subject,

John Hornberger
