Patrick, Hi!! RE: siliconvalley.com re; Just click on a button and a new Dell ink cartridge lands on your front porch within 24 hours. It's not exactly cutting-edge technology, but it is a smart, consumer-friendly feature sure to please customers who dread trekking down to Office Depot with a spent cartridge in hand. This is the way Dell -- a company that sent shock waves through the personal computer industry with its price-slashing, direct-sales model -- is gaining a foothold in new markets, including the $25 billion U.S. printer ink and toner business. Geez, I like fightin' traffic and gettin' ripped off at the same time... :o) re: ``If you stand back and look at the bigger picture in tech, Dell gets all the pieces it needs from others,'' said Dick Lampman, Hewlett-Packard's senior vice president of research and director of HP Labs. ``From my view, that's definitely a limiter in opportunities to grow. Dell has tried to enter the printer market by using other people's products. It's a clear limitation on their financial model because they have to share their profits. That limits their success in that market.'' Yeah, DELL has no idea how to make a profit... :o) re: At a Santa Clara dinner hosted by the Churchill Club last week, Dell was asked to respond to statements made by HP CEO Carly Fiorina, in which she called Dell's company a ``one-trick pony.'' Dell's response: ``She got it half-right. We're a two-trick pony. We've managed to save customers a lot of money and make a profit, too.'' Nice come back Michael... Patrick...Toner and ink is a $25 billion business... :o) Best, Kemble
