49ERS GET TECHNO OVER THREE-YEAR DEAL WITH HEWLETT-PACKARD

          Hewlett-Packard (H-P) has inked a three-year deal to
     become the "technology provider" for the 49ers, according to
     Steve Ginsberg of the S.F. BUSINESS JOURNAL.  The deal
     "delivers visibility" for H-P at 3Com Park, where it will
     supply all the hardware for the 49ers' technology pavilion,
     where fans will be able to surf the Internet, play video
     games and view multimedia displays on H-P computers before
     home games.  H-P will also supply the team's "business and
     notebook computers and printers."  Ginsberg adds that while 
     H-P has been involved with sports "for years," it has
     increased its profile over the last year.  Its largest
     commitment so far has been becoming the technology provider
     to the '98 World Cup (S.F. BUSINESS JOURNAL, 11/10).
