No, no, no!  Betty Bowers was being pro-HP!  This is satire, and 
it's her stock in trade.  She was bashing the HP-bashers!  Please 
reread it and understand that it is written with tongue firmly 
placed in cheek!  (And a very cheeky cheek it is too.)  In fact, I 
felt that BB exceeded even her usual excellent standards with this 
piece, and THAT'S saying a lot!
