Acclaimed journalist Malone provides the definitive history of Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard and their founding of arguably the world's greatest company.
Since I was a teenager I have been enamored with Hewlett-Packard. The greatest commercial of all time started ita all. The guy is riding down the road in his car and pulls over at a phone booth in the desert and calls his coworker and says, "what if we.....". It was seminal in my perception of HP. I think now that I was only smitten and after two decades I am more in love with HP the company than ever. An old manager I had once said to me and another analyst that history plays a part in everything. In HP's case, this is true, as well.
