This marriage of Hewlett and Compaq that's finally been allowed to be consummated reminds me a lot of what would happen if there were a union between Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles.
Charles and Camilla, for their part, were said to be enjoying the swing through the West Coast particularly their stay in woodsy west Marin County. They're never happier than when they're in their homes in the country, ... They're country people, really.
Formally, there is no doubt that Camilla will become Queen.
Although our productions have afforded more extensive and unaffected pleasure than those of any other literary corporation in the world, no species of composition has been so much decried. ''And what are you reading, Miss -- -'' ''Oh it is only a novel'' replies the young lady while she lays down her book with affected indifference, or momentary shame. ''It is only Cecilia, or Camilla, or Belinda '' or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humor, are conveyed to the world in the best chosen language.
The prince's intentions to crown Camilla have actually been clear all along. Item the gift of the queen mother's platinum-and-diamond ring. Item the insistence on a grand wedding at Windsor Castle rather than sloping off to Scotland, the way his sister Princess Anne did for her second marriage, to Rear Adm. Timothy Laurence.

When I got a call earlier this morning, I was completely astounded. The fact that it is happening, and that it is happening that quickly is the surprising element here. Charles has always had a strong affection for her. He did love Diana but perhaps in a different way than he loved Camilla. It wasn't such an enduring love.
Diana had the combination of status and sex appeal which made her more starry than a movie star. Camilla scrubs up well but it takes an army of make-up artists and dress designers. Diana had it naturally.
All the problems with Diana, all the tapes and everything, Camilla has been lurking in the background. So the queen has been very resistant about this whole relationship. But the fact of the matter is, the prince loves Camilla, he needs her very much.
In the bosom of her respectable family resided Camilla.
Soft is the strain when zephyr gently blows, And the smooth stream in smoother numbers flows But when loud surges lash the sounding shore, The hoarse rough verse should like the torrent roar. When Ajax strives some rock's vast weight to throw, The line too labours, and the words move slow Not so when swift Camilla scours the plain, Flies o'er th' unbending corn, and skims along the main.
They are clearly very much in love. It must be the end of a series of nightmare years for Camilla, every day reading in the papers about being the mistress this and that. They are entitled to have their own happiness the same as everyone else.
It is pretty clear that people are not enormously enamored by Camilla. People in the future will say that when you compare her style with Diana's, it is very different.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who in 1997 mourned the death of the People's Princess ... delighted for the Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker Bowles, it's very happy news.
