Hi!!

RE: But investors are worried that Dell will implement its black-box manufacturing and volume strategy into the printer market and squeeze the margins for HP's most profitable business. Those profits, mostly from high-margin cartridges and supplies, are said to keep other arms of the business afloat in tough times. HP shares were off 5.5%, to $12.16, in early afternoon trading.

Dell investors have been more levelheaded: The stock is up just 1%, to $24.23. Lexmark (nyse: LXK - news - people ) shares, however, were up almost 10%, to $46.60. That's because the Dell deal replaces and should surpass the 3% of Lexmark's 2001 revenue the company lost when Compaq was bought by Hewlett-Packard. Compaq outsourced its branded printers to Lexmark.

Of course Lexmark investors should be buying more...Someday when DELL eats into HP's ink and the Carly/Cappellas marriage finds their heads totally under the quicksand...DELL will have all the PC business...And, Lexmark will be the brand of choice...HP will be non existent...

Best, Kemble
