Well, color me prescient, but ya know I feel a disturbance in the Force, inflectionpointwize.
You heard it hear first folks, but this Dell Dude Dope Deal has more legs than you might first think. Just about the only expense Dell has is advertising, it is the only thing they do BEFORE a computer is ordered. I think imagewize as we say in the adbiz this is going to hurt Dell bigtime. HPQ is already Dell dope analogies in thier sales pitch. The jokes have just started. bubblevision.tv
Couple that with Cisco suing that Chinese co. that I believe supplied dell with switches, coupled with Linksys out Delling Dell on the low end.
And now this IBM thingy. 26 Billion dollars worth of business out the window. No IBM parts, no IBM service support. That of course is not the real story to that deal, but I think the real story is worse, if it ever surfaces.
But I digress.....
There will, however, be forevermore, be a new meaning to the term,
......DELLHEAD.
If ya catch my drift.
