I'll bet the price drops and HD gets bigger very quickly - HP has a good
track record of big price/performance drops.

The same people who came up with Starion as a car name! Seriously, this is a
problem when tech corporations don't hire humanities majors; they forget that
words like 'pedion' might have meanings in, say, ancient Greek - or maybe HP
really did mean for the new machine to be the "HP-Mitsubishi _Dirt_"!
