Joe was a lot more than just a decent felllow. He was a true giant of the B2B PC industry upon

who's shoulders we now all stand. Not too many people have managed to compete with IBM

and remain unscathed. He did & some !

It is with some sadness I note a world brand (Compaq) is now used by HP to

help obtain shelf space in Wallmart.

With a clear run at the market, without investor & banker greed, they would undoubtedly be

worrying Apple. Happy Days. I once gave Compaq a cheque for a £million with a big smile, worth every penny. We were his biggest & first customer & very proud to be so.
