El:

I heard Neff. Dell isn't doing nada.
Neff finally got an interview with Michael Dell, Neff said something like, "are you going to get into printers?", Dell said something like "Hmmmmmm, that is something to consider", Neff said after the meeting something like, "his body language said we are buying The Selecctric Division of IBM AND Remington Rand AND Olivetti AND Lynotype International AND Gutenberg.com."

The rest is rampant rumor.

How to build your own supercomputer: Take a few off-the-shelf, stripped-down PCs, add some network switches, a maze of Ethernet cabling and some homegrown Linux software, and you'll be well on your way.

Hewlett-Packard, together with a national laboratory in France, tried this recipe out and, to the great surprise of many scientists, it worked.



What they ended up with is the "I-Cluster," a Mandrake Linux-powered cluster of 225 PCs that has benchmarked its way into the list of the top 500 most powerful computers in the world.

At a technical session last summer, scientists from HP's labs in Grenoble, France, started talking to experts at the local INRIA Rhone-Alps (France's National Institute for Research in Computer Science) about the possibility of doing "something a little unusual." The idea was to b

Neff hasn't gotten the word about pumping stock yet. Maybe he is trying to land Dell's profitable put business.

How about the line about Dell being more then a PC business? "Dell is the Walmart of the IT business. The PC business just gets them into door."

Andy is just so proud Dell talked to him. He just knows Dell will take his advice and go into the printer ink business. I bet all the printer companies are lining up to share their ink profits with Dell. Dell is going to make a fortune selling printer ink on their web site.

Go get 'em Andy. Keep talking and maybe you can land Dell's Lexmark buy out.

Somebody take the drugs away from Andy.
