Her buying up Compaq made no sense to me.

HP and Compaq use to compete on who could make the
worst computers. After Fiorina, it was a mute point.

Some of those old Compaq units had drives you could make door stops
with - how many MB's? There was a 'laptop' model the size of a
carry-on luggage. They went to military disposal, except the drives.

Many federal government contracts were with HP. $25,000 (yes) printers
(I spent your tax money on two). Desktops moved to Dell (contract).
