[time-nuts] HP/Agilent Manuals

Hi Chuck:

A true story:
As part of my job at HP/Agilent I was on the road quite a bit living in 
hotels.  My laptop was able to connect into their network most of the 
time in a secure manner.  But every now and then it refused to connect.  
So there was an 800 support number to call and those folks would get me 
connected.  One day the message that you get to hear while on hold said 
something like "this 800 support phone number will be replaced by the 
following web URL on the 17 of June".  Needless to say I made quite a 
stink about this and probably so did anyone who traveled.  And it came 
to pass that the 800 stayed operational.

My guess is that some kid in the legal department is trying to get 
noticed for doing something without asking for permission hoping he 
won't have to ask for forgiveness.  It would be good if we found out who 
to send email to and start a campaign.  I think that if anyone who can 
think heard about this they would put an end to it.

Is there someone inside Agilent who can give us a good email to use?

Have Fun,

Brooke
