Well I for one found it amusing that HP was trying to get away from the "PC"
moniker calling them "access devices for the Internet" (which can also be
palmtops etc). You know a really bright chap in corporate would say:
        "Well we make lots of different
         kinds of equipment, and we gave
         all the analog stuff away to the
         Agilent so we just have the
         digital stuff. I know, we'll
         call the combined company the
         digital equipment company, gee
         that has a nice ring to it."
Of course Microsoft loses big because their two biggest licensees for Wince are
consolidating into one licensee.
