Apollo workstations and DomainOS were ahead of the competition and implemented many great ideas. Unfortunately, all of this was killed when hp purchased Apollo in 1989. Other hp casualties: - TI's computer division in 1992 (TI990 16-bit minis, S1500 680x0 Unix multiprocessor servers and Explorer Lisp machines) - Tandem NonStop systems (via the Compaq acquisition) - DEC Alphas (also via Compaq) - Palm and WebOS ...and probably a lot more which I don't remember right now. It's so sad...
