[time-nuts] HP Reliability

[Artek Manuals]

My bet is that the split between Medical and Test Equipment is to 
facilitate the eventual sale of one or the other division.

As for reliability I have mostly HP and Tektronix in my stable with an 
odd Racal and Boonton piece here and there. The Boontons never fail ( 
arguably much simpler) but the HP are an order of magnitude better than 
Tektronix. I suspect the medical stuff gets built with "mil-qualified" 
parts because  the customer base has a higher tolerance for the added cost

Also dont forget guys a lot of the toys we have all bought on Evil-Bay , 
etc ,,are well beyond it's design life cycle I think the youngest Item I 
have in my "collection" is at least 25 years old.
