I worked with a bunch of former Compaq people in early/mid-‘00s.

None of them could come up with a reasonable rationale for HP buying Compaq (aka Fiorina’s Folly).

"Dude put $100 million into his own campaign and lost..."

Dude almost certainly has a way of recouping that money through insurance, wagers or some other kind of billionaire scam that the peasants know nothing of.

Besides the fact that Compaq made better computers? I mean, a better question would be why HP went into the PC market in the first place. I bet Tektronix was giggling over on the sidelines.

Yeah, let's grossly overpay for a PC company, at peak valuation, just as IBM (the smarter company) was getting out of the PC biz. But later on they also stepped in it big time by buying Autonomy (software company) and then discovering it was a load of rubbish.

I think we need to give more credence to green space and how to incorporate it wisely. All the development around me go right up to the side walk with barely space for a flower bed. It's depressing as hell compared to older development with lawns that let people congregate and enjoy the outside.
