Are the positive responses being blocked, or aren't there any? Ten years ago there would have been 100 "HP is the best company to work for" comments.

Hello Les,

I don't know either, however this newsgroup is about VEE which is an Agilent product. The company of course has its roots back in HP. Nevertheless I'm very surprised how often I walk across people, who are not aware of Agilent being the "original HP".

Bernd

Hi Bernd,

I hear you, but it is not fair to class Les that way. Les is a 25 year veteran of HP/Agilent and one of the original VEE developers for instrument drivers.

In this particular case, the HP references are appropriate, especially since the topic was broached by Martin Rowe (Senior Editor at T&M World)

How soon they forget. No wonder memorials are so often set up.
Personally I think of Agilent instruments as the "real HP" and those other guys are just computer geeks.

Hello!
I agree!
In my travels I as well have met people who are also not aware of this. They believe, (want to believe?), that Agilent is something new, and that HP was always making those things, and that Agilent just got started doing something new and special with these instruments.

As we are all aware of what has happened, I am not going to go over old news, but there are people there who do need to know this.

I should mention that the former components division group is well aware of their history and despite the fact that some documents are being renamed and renumbered, they do want explain why they are doing that.
