In the 90s, HP engineers used to visit our offices, just to see how we used their gear. Printers, large format plotters, workstations, networking, etc. They'd cold call me, arrange visits, hang out for a while.

I'd see how they take our feedback and improve their products.

I don't think I've loved another brand as much as I loved HP, back in the day.

Alas, things change.
