HP was always admired as a great technology innovator. The company invented and produced many breakthrough products. HP’s marketing efforts were not always so highly thought of. When the museum’s curator started with HP marketing in 1984, an industry colleague told him that “HP is the kind of company that would sell sushi as cold, raw fish for dinner”. After considerable thought, the curator realized that he could never have come up with anything that GOOD!
