...commodity, little more than a toaster that also does long division, and its decision to get out of the business spotlighted Fiorina's opposite bet. Under her command, HP in 2002 spent $19 billion buying Compaq, largely to expand its position in PCs and fight off Dell, the market's low-cost leader.
