OTOH, HP was also a big player in the mini and later workstation
market, and they managed to survive, albeit by eventually splitting
themselves into HPE for the big iron, and the other part for the PCs
and printers.  But it may be the exception that proves the rule.

Exceptions don't prove rules.  They refute them.  (The existence of an
exception may prove the existence of a rule to which it is an
exception.)
