Those were several good reasons. I believe I recall the same arguments being brought up during the long and arduous HP+Compaq merger itself.

Some CEOs do "get" branding. Check out Steve Jobs!

I couldn't help but read a few other postings from the site. MTV is the root of all evil was a good one. I dunno whether one can blame the problems listed on MTV, but this damn microwave culture sure blows.
I finally jumped into the music bix full time, and it can be so frustrating having to simply wait. Good things do come, but the waiting...ugh...the waiting.
So, thanks.

The REAL reason she was outed: Let me ask you this...when it is time to make a purchasing decision on a piece of computer hardware, who makes the decision? More often, a MAN does. Women shouldn't be running technology companies, period. They just don't quite get it.
