HP a 40 billion dollar start up
Message #1 Posted by Ethan Conner on 31 Aug 2011, 4:37 p.m.

There was a full page ad in the paper here yesterday by HP touting themselves as a 40 billion dollar start up. The ad can be viewed in an article on the engadget website. Anyone care to interpret?

I was part of several startups in the 90s. Most of them got their funding pulled in 2000.
