In 1999 HP spun off the test equipment business as Agilent Technologies.
In 2001 they merged with Compaq. The resulting organization is much
more Compaq than HP. I had some contact with Compaq's management
philosophy in the 80s. I've generally avoided their products since
(except when I can get them used at 90% off from university surplus).
