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.
