Lamenting
the loss of a Business/IT Icon- I always hate the feeling you get in your gut when you hear of the passing of a friend, or a distant family member from your recent past. Someone you knew well, perhaps hung around with for a bit of your life, relied on for certain things important to you, but maybe not as close as your nuclear family. As part of our now in production article "Life with only a Notebook, PC or Mac?" I was talking with the Houston based Hewlett-Packard Public Relations Manager , Kris Dahl. Houston Texas is now the combined hub for all of HP's Notebook marketing and support, moving control from Palo Alto, California. We were talking about which Notebooks from Compaq and Hewlett-Packards product lines "The New HP" was going to submit for the article. I also pressed in typical journalist's fashion for some insight on the future fate of the now combined two distinctly different portable computer product lines. I had assumed that under the HP brand they would be submitting a premium OmniBook for the "high end" desktop replacement portable.

Back in 1993 HP introduced the 3-pound HP OmniBook 300; "a super portable personal computer with enough battery power to last during a flight across the United States", was how HP billed this first ultra compact computer. |
