Hewlett-Packard USED to be an elite company where the skills and expertise of top engineers was treasured. Fiorina dumped many of them unceremoniuously, turning the company into a commodity PC/printer company that continues to make most of its profits off of ink and toner.

I was not against the Compaq buyout; I am against what became of both product lines after the fact. Combined with the IBM sellout to the Chicoms, there are no elite computer companies left.

An failed globalist elitist, great way to build bridges to the social conservatives in the party.

Sam Palmisano said they couldn’t make a profit on PC’s. The Chinese bought Lenovo and made a profit the first quarter while they still had American employees on board.
