Redacted buissiness talk, should be standalone or merge-legit now. 68.39.174.238 02:57, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge into HP which acquired this company last fall. Crunch 02:59, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge per Crunch. Ruby 03:36, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Im not sure it should be merged. Just because another company bought it doesnt mean the history of the company has anything to do with the new owner. -- Astrokey44|talk 04:42, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Slight merge to HP. I agree it shouldn't overshadow the rest of HP, but the info about products can all be rewritten as HP products and hafl of the article dropped (half the article is adcopy anyway). The company is only notable for its acquisition by HP (it was a privately-held company that existed for only 4 years). —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-23 08:20Z
  • Slight merge What Quarl said. Robin Johnson 11:16, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge per crunch. Mushintalk 14:20, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep User:Benjwong This is not a major merger but an acquisition. However the product will remain, so it resembles many of the more commonly acquired companies from the past like Rational, Veritas etc. I do not know if there is a wikipedia requirement to only merge public companies with a stock ticker. To keep it short, most small companies that get bought out nowadays are private.
