My bet is that the split between Medical and Test Equipment is to
facilitate the eventual sale of one or the other division.
As for reliability I have mostly HP and Tektronix in my stable with an
odd Racal and Boonton piece here and there. The Boontons never fail (
arguably much simpler) but the HP are an order of magnitude better than
Tektronix. I suspect the medical stuff gets built with "mil-qualified"
parts because the customer base has a higher tolerance for the added cost
Also dont forget guys a lot of the toys we have all bought on Evil-Bay ,
etc ,,are well beyond it's design life cycle I think the youngest Item I
have in my "collection" is at least 25 years old.

Hi,
Rather, it was because Agilent was known for it's fine medical stuff
that the instrument part didn't fit in and put into a separate company.
Similarly since HP was known for its computers, printers and scanners,
the medical and instrument parts didn't fit into the HP brand.
In the process, it looks like it is loosing it's edge, which is sad to see.
Cheers,
Magnus
