28.0. ""Many miles to go before I sleep"??" by NETMAN::KRISHNASWAMY (Be cool, stay in the groove, say YO) Thu Apr 13 1989 17:04

    a) I think the musical chairs in the industry is really amusing.
    UNISYS personnel to Honeywell (pardon me, BULL), Honeywell/BULL
    to Apollo to HP??????
    
    b) Considering the rumored (real) move of many ex-Honeywellers to
    Apollo, I wonder about the effect of the HP purchase on them. Any
    thoughts or information?

	Re .0: If I were at Apollo, I'd be relieved that it is HP doing the buying. Many other corporate suitors might be interested ONLY in the patents owned by Apollo -- to HELL with the people! HP impresses me as being a "class act" whose culture should be amenable and who has the resources to make their newest division successful. I'd expect SOME turmoil, though I doubt it will be any worse than that endured at Honeywell/Bull over the last decade.
