- Lest we fall for the ZDNet revisionist history
-
"Hewlett-Packard is one of the seminal Silicon Valley companies, rooted in the
nerdy engineering-driven culture that also spawned Intel, Apple, Sun, Google and
other legends in the neighborhood."
HP did NOT spawn Apple.
Steve Wozniak worked for HP but they ignored any option on his technology:
"And while HP was interested in the machine, Wozniak said that ultimately, the
company was afraid that it wasn't polished enough to be an HP product. Later, he
added that if HP had wanted it, it probably would have been a commercial failure
and might have set the personal-computer business back significantly."
