[time-nuts] HP Reliability

[Magnus Danielson]

Hi,

Rather, it was because Agilent was known for it's fine medical stuff 
that the instrument part didn't fit in and put into a separate company. 
Similarly since HP was known for its computers, printers and scanners, 
the medical and instrument parts didn't fit into the HP brand.

In the process, it looks like it is loosing it's edge, which is sad to see.

Cheers,
Magnus
