HP and Agilent are not the same companies. HP sold (or formed a new
separate company) their electronic and test equipment business to Agilent
and now is exclusively a computer manufacturer. In any event, I don't
believe there is any connection between HP and Agilent.
I agree with your assessment of Agilent.

Subject: Re: [Amps] No more HP/Agilent manuals on BAMA
What HP-Agilent did there is the most prickish behavior I've ever seen! The
only reason they could be upset is that they still want to try and sell
copies of old manuals! Now if that aint being tight, I dont know what it is.
I'll sure tell um one thing, I'll think twice about buying a new HP or
Compaq computer, and or any piece of test equipment they've made or will
make. That's surely what's known as being low enough to crawl under a snakes
belly.
I'll tell you what would really dig at um. Have someone to host the manuals
where copyright laws dont extend. That goes on now with the server for WinMX
I think for downloading music. I think they're home office is on an island
somehwere around the Phillipienes, I cant remember where. I do know Sony and
a few others tried to shut it down, and flat couldn't. If that government
dont accept US copyright law, then the copyright holder is screwed. In HP's
case, it would be deserving, IMHO.
