jb -
We are probably beating this to death but still...

FACT; DELL did not lose the ford deal
I think you're into serious denial here - HP certainly DID take the business from DELL - DELL has a big position in Ford's commercial space, the consumer deal was theirs to lose and they did lose it, how can you contest those facts? Are you saying the press has it wrong and DELL really got the contract or something???

FACT; HWP is gonna give FORD people the shit they couldn't sell!!!!!!

WHY do you think this? You have no idea what machines are included in the deal, but still you make a bunch of assumptions -
1) HP has consumer product they couldn't sell (not likely after their blowout xmas season)
2) These products are $hit - as I think I have pointed out, HP makes a pretty decent consumer line, the worst of which is equivalent to DELL's consumer product.

Do you have any facts to back your assertions or are you like one of "da Bears" fans on the old saturday nite live skit?
