HP buys Compaq.

Read this morning on a Swedish news-site that HP will acquire Compaq for about $25bn. Yes, that's $25,000,000,000. No links to verify it more though, but I expect they will start to show soon.

Now it's off to school...yay...

The deal, announced late on Monday, would create a company with revenues of $87.4 billion, catapulting it ahead of Dell Computer Corp. as the world's top personal computer maker, while bolstering it against IBM and Sun Micro in the market for big business computers.
