- I read it and thought that it was fundamentally upbeat. It praised NeXTSTEP
- pretty highly. It repeated the tantalizing HP rumor. (When are we going to hear
- something definite about that????) It mentioned the 4th quarter operating
- profit.

- The company is undergoing major changes, and it is natural for people to leave
- when this happens, either because they are asked to leave or because they
- resent the changes in their working environment. The new president obviously
- has a lot to do with this, and I would guess that Canon brought him in to do
- just what he is doing. The personnel changes don't worry me, and neither does
- the new emphasis on software. I do hope that hardware is not droppped
- altogether though, because spray painting HP boxes black is going to be a pain
- in the ass.
