Carly runs for the Senate
Message #1 Posted by Palmer O. Hanson, Jr. on 3 June 2010, 10:36 p.m.

Pages 34 through 39 of the June 7 issue of The New Yorker covers the Republican primary race for the U. S. Senate seat from California which is currently held by Barbara Boxer. Interesting reading, if only to see once again how Carly sees her stint at HP.

I have mixed feelings; but almost anyone would be better than the incumbent!

Well, the important question that the voters want answered is what is their stand on algebraic vs rpn vs rpl? ;-)

My guess is that Boxer is a 12c user while Fiorina hires people to do her calculations. ;-)

She may have an HP-67, and think the "P<>S" key means "Primary<>Senate"

Probably not. It was during her tenure at HP that the 48gx and the last of the Pioneers were discontinued, and production was outsourced to China.
