Tbc: What I know from personal and family ties

'''Hewlett-Packard''' (commonly known as '''HP'''), are computer manufacturers more famous for their [[printer]]s etc. than for their all-in-one computers of dubious quality, and more than for these for the loss of data following their sudden termination of their [[Internet|cloud]] storage service.

They divided themselves into two companies: [[HP, Inc.]], for personal computers and printers, and [[HPE]] (HP Enterprise) for all the other stuff.

The original company founded by Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard in 1939 is among the original Silicon Valley pioneers. In fact, the HP Garage is a historic landmark that represents the genesis of Silicon Valley. They have spawned many companies over the decades. Two notable non-computer spinoffs are Agilent Technologies and Keysight Technologies. Keysight is a sort of grandchild company, having been spun out of Agilent.

Thanks [[User:Jnc|jnc]]! Hi everyone, I'm Tim Chambers, long-time wiki fan. Happy to be a member of this little community. No need to duplicate what I already say on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tim_Chambers my Wikipedia user page], which see. But I'm looking forward to being able to show that I've written more here than there by the end of 2023.
