Seems HP has purchased the network equipment make 3COM. I still remember the good old days when 3COM and USRobotics ruled the IT world. But now this is the end of a sad chapter in te book of what was one of the great equipment makes of the 90s. I just wonder what HP is up to. Now they have surpassed IBM in revenues, what do they really want? Are consumers going to benefit by having a large company like HP dominate the computes, printers, services and networking industry?

Maybe one day we will have a HP that does all those.....and more! Its the end of the world I tell you.... On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 6:15 PM, Philip Musyoki <pmusyoki@gmail.com> wrote:

I believe in the Networks they have excess to do......esp. with Dlink, Linksys & Cisco presence Lenovo are catching up real fast on the pc and laptop range too.....Quality for less !! I don't think consumers will gain much from HP selling Switches also.....price is not everything!! Alvin On 11/12/09, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:
