It might even be a company museum type site at this point, they made a big deal about the company $$ sent on renovations a few years ago.<br /><br />Princess Carly Fiorina was responsible for jettisoning the Agilent products part of HP. After destroying Lucent, HP got her as a diveristy hire. She did her best to kill the culture and sell off pieces of the company, but thus far HP has outlived her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-7291661840524459682011-05-26T13:31:26.137-04:002011-05-26T13:31:26.137-04:00The house on Addison is in a part of Paly called &...The house on Addison is in a part of Paly called "Professorville" because it's "across the street" from Da University and where original-gangsta Stanford Professoratie built their Manses - and the property values are at a premium even for Shallow Alto.

I'll have you know that I've cured spray-painted auto parts in my kitchen oven more than a few times (we open all the windows and evacuate the house to avoid breathing the fumes). <br /><br />And *everyone* in my extended family thinks my Thanksgiving turkeys are the <i>best</i> they've ever tasted. :D<br /><br />(I'll note that my oven paint-curing projects have yet to result in the good fortune visited upon Messrs. Hewlett and Packard... alas.
