I wonder what Woz thinks now. It must be a sad day for many HP engineers.
- Splines 15y agoWhat sort of stuff are they doing now? In the consumer's eye, they make mediocre printers and PCs. In my university days I happily used a HP calculator and scope, in addition to HPUX. Are those businesses still going strong?
- joezydeco 15y agoThe calculator group was shut down, an HP division in Australia tried to revive it a while back. I think the HP calculators that are still being sold are done by a Korean OEM.
- sciurus 15y agoWho makes better printers? I've always been a fan of HP due to their work on HPLIP.
- Splines 15y agoPerhaps I was unfair - that's just my perspective of the current state of affairs. I've used some HP printers and some non-HP printers in the last few years, and the HP ones did nothing to stand out of the pack. I guess what I mean to say is that HP just seems like yet-another consumer electronics company. It isn't apparent to me if people have brand-loyalty to HP in the consumer segment.
