Nope.  Agilent is the original HP instrument divisions, spun off into a
new company.  Fiorina kept the metastasized cancer called the PC
division, plus the printer division, the only long-term profitable
division on the PC side of the company.  It's not too unrealistic to say
that getting into the PC business was a major part of what killed HP.
