- Apology accepted. I think my previous posts established my
- "credentials" on this subject, wherein I flamed HP employees for
- saying things I felt were false.
-
- Now Lou has given us an outline and a timeframe. It's not perfect,
- but it's a long way from the lame excuses I have seen coming from HP
- employees in the recent past (on this subject, and IMHO, of course).
-
- Surely a Ford employee understands the difficulty of getting a large
- organization moving in another direction. I want to applaud Lou for
- going as far as he did, because you can be sure, there are a lot of us
- ready to pounce in a year if nothing comes to fruition. I hope HP
- employees will continue read the net, make it part of the decisions
- that are made, and tell us when we can expect to see what we have been
- clamoring for. I think this is a very positive development for news
- readers.
