[comp.sys.apollo] Hewlett-Packard Commercial

A dashing man in Ray-Bans, driving his classic '50's T-bird up the
California coast, can't seem to get his mind off of problems at work.
Suddenly, while passing a pay-phone booth, he's struck with a brilliant
idea.....

           "Frank, it's Ed. I've got it!"

           "We can't seem to get the edge on the workstation market,
            right? What if, we buy the competition?"

Hewlett-Packard businessmen are always on the job, finding a financial
way to solve scientific problems.

Let's hear it for big business....

Since when does engineering == marketing == science?
Reminds me of: "anything which has Science in its name, isn't".
