YOU DUMB SMUCKS, I hope the fact all your staff have been quickly making a small fortune off your failed touchpad outside office hours (Christmas bonus anyone) whilst HP lost a hell of a lot of money since the first round of fire sales has made you happy !!

If I was an investor right now, im pretty sure i would put my money into something else instead of HP...!
