You can pick at Marc's words as much as you like, but having heard his visions back in '95 when Netscape was big, he's a big picture guy and is seeing the forest for the trees. Consider the following: - In this decade and the last, software

You forgot the "we're refocusing ourselves to our core competency as a software company". HP hasn't had competent software for years since HPUX and even then, it's questionable. They are a hardware/printer company so this is going to be a

Someone related to me recently that there are very few manufacturers and Atwood's were probably from a single (less reliable) one, because they used <insert other more reliable one here> and they had better luck. Wish I had written
