A cynic might point out that this could mean that HP will stop
selling anything that their sales force could not speak knowlegably
about.  However, I don't see a big future for HP in selling expense
report forms and travel vouchers so I suppose they will have to keep
a few things that are related to computers dispite the obvious
difficulties this will entail with respect to their sales force.
