It is a big deal. Everybody is just saying how many desktops Compaq will sell to GM,
but I think one has to also factor that Compaq will also be selling them servers,
workstations, networks, and services. For a company such as GM this is a lot of
business

Sorry I didn't see anything that said GM was awarding us a contract for anything but the desktops. If you have an article telling more please post it for the thread.

Eddie,

The reason they are out of the printers business is because the money is not really in the machines, but in the ink cartridges, etc. which is the monopoly of companies like HWP. HWP sells printers cheap, hook you up and get you in the peripherials where the mark-up and profit is tremenndous. I guess this is probably why CPQ got out of the printers business, no good profit in the hardware.
