What a way to ruin a great brand. For no apparent reason at all.
They could have called it “Pewlett Hackard”. Heck, they could have called it “Tektronix”. (Those guys in Beaverton seem to have no use for that name anymore.)
The monkeys are running the henhouse. (Or, um, something like that.)
Oh, and…get off my lawn!

When Agilent was spun off, I thought the name was stupid (and I wasn’t the only one). But I have to admit: Agilent has established itself as a recognized and respected brand. Keysight sounds goofy to me now, but who knows how I’ll feel in 10 years?
When you think about it, Tektronix is a goofy name too. “Tech” + “electonics” + stupid misspellings. And “Hewlett Packard”? Is that a supermarket or what? “Apple Computer”? Really, apples? What does the Amazon river have to do with a bookstore, or a kayak with a metasearch site?
