OK, but don't believe everything you read, and note that there is lots
of stuff you can't read here...the HP purchase of Apollo back in the day
being of some interest, since they did it to increase their share of the
Unix-y workstation market...and failed. But I digress.
The biggest and most ridiculous error in this chronology is:
# Nov. 2000 - HP announces its fiscal year 2000 earnings hit $48.8
# billion, a company record.
Baloney. That was *revenue*, not earnings. When they got this wrong,
it really made me wonder.
