My very first computer as an HP. My dad came home with one from CompUSA back in the mid-90s. I think this was shortly after Packard Bell rebranded themselves. I don't know what involvement Carl had with the company by that point in time, but he indirectly had an impact on me as it got me started in computers very early in life. RIP.

are you thinking Hewlett not Hewitt ?

That's odd, I'm having a Mandella Effect here, I thought the company name was Hewitt-Packard.

You're not the only one, Steve Jobs was also mistaken back in the 70s: https://www.theamerican.co.uk/pr/ne-Steve-Jobs-Job-Applicati...
