Yesterday in the entertainment complex "Snowstorm" a solemn meeting of the Club Champions Hewlett-Packard "and awarding the winners of Round 4 of the program - a kind of" IT-Goodwill Games. " Deliberative - entirely athletes, members of the Komsomol (the past), and top managers of large Moscow firms, product distributors, HP. But to begin with a brief background to the event. In order to stimulate sales, PR-managers of the Moscow office HP decided to organize a capitalistic competition between resellers. The mechanism of the event was borrowed from the Soviet ideology, changed only the titles and dates: the reporting period (Five) were the rounds, a program which had to meet or exceed over 4 months old. Labour blast working on a plan of organizers, rewarded financially. It is curious that it was not without ideological inspiration. Each stage of the program (they passed only four) was ideologically furnished. The same four, in which participated MakTsentr, for example, was perceived by participants as a "Goodwill Games". Each dealer HP, responsible for which type of product is assigned to the sport. Thus, the sellers pocket computers, for example, competed in the category "Sports in the clouds."

Thus, mandated to hold a meeting of the Club Champions Hewlett-Packard "was Nikolai Fomenko, with all ensuing consequences. In his opening remarks, he walked about the letter combinations HP (in Russian transcription - "CP"): "Think about these letters - to persuade the audience Champions lead - remember with what they have assotsiiruyutya. We know them from early childhood. Each student will tell us that where P is, there is X, and vice versa, and so on ... " In short, the one who ordered the music, not enough thought:) But this Fomenko. It can be. And even need ...
It started rewarding. Drummers of capitalist competition is not bored, eating all sorts of snacks and occasionally getting his due from the master. Finally, it came to "debriefing" MakTsentr and competing firms. Recall that our colleagues were in the category "Sports in the clouds." And here it is necessary to make a small digression.
