I have never been impressed by HP computing.  They should have stuck to printers and scanners. Looking at all that's happened lately though... who knows. I guess he didn't watch Star Trek huh!?! PADDs everywhere in the 23rd and 24th century, even though the average PDA today seems to be more versatile then those... interesting that even the name is a variation on PDA hmmmm???
