HP/Compaq Merger Apparently Approved

Spinality writes "Looks like HP's hotly contested merger with Compaq is going ahead. Various news headlines such as this one at Bloomberg.com report that stockholders voted to merge, against the wishes of the Hewlett and Packard families. " There isn't official word yet, but this looks like it's pretty much a done deal. Anyone else think the business world looks like a game of Pac Man?

Wasn't he dead at 54 last year too?

Don't cut the old skool soldiers short.

My grampa kicks your grampas ass.

We got him and grandma a nice little compaq to surf the internet with. Inside of a year not only was he installing peripherals, and software, but adding ram on his own. Sure I get like a call a month, and sure I get all kinds of "interesting web site" clippings from their local paper sent to me. But it's really satisfiying to see...err hear them getting so much enjoyment out of it. I didn't think they'd do a tenth of the stuff they've done with it.

That will certainly teach me to underestimate MY grandparents, perhaps yours have a similar lesson in store for you.
