Apparently, HP isn't as concerned with diversity as they want you to believe. Dude, we're getting a Dell...

Exactly. No problem here. I'll never buy HP again unless I have no other option. I'll even spend more to avoid them.

The San Francisco-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit held that HP did not discriminate against Richard Peterson when it fired him after he posted quotes from the Bible in his cubicle in response to company posters featuring gay employees.

Wouldn't you just know it the 9th Circus again. Well how long do you think it will be before this one is over turned by SCOTUS? Hell, why doesn't the SCOTUS make its life easy and just over turn every decision the 9th has ever made en banc and peremptorily. That would sure lighten the docket.

Yep, Hewlett Packard is only for homosexuals and their supporters. Take your business to more diverse suppliers.

We buy over 200 servers per year (avg price $17,000) for client installations. When I first heard of this case I decided to halt Compaq (HP subsidiary) and HP purchases (at the time 90% of our purchases). We now use only DELL. Interestingly, we have had far fewer service problems as well since making the switch.

I sent a letter to HP regarding our decision and received no response. Seems that this company cares more about appeasing homosexuals than satisfying $3 million customers. This failure to even respond merely confirmed I made the right decision. Sickening to see what is happening to American businesses. My Japanese counterparts have no such issues whatsoever.
