It is so small that there = are only 21 white pages in the phone book (and it's only 9" x 6"!). Whil= st perusing the phone book today, I happened upon an interesting listing und= er the I's in the white pages: IBM Corp Sales/Marketing 1-800-426-4968 Needless to say, there is no corresponding entry for Hewlett-Packard. = Now, if IBM can put their 800 number in a (very) small town phone book, = why can't HP?
