Non-event. How much of a factor were they anyway? Maybe in Government, not too much else.
The question becomes; How will KIP respond? Can KIP really make a move to add more dealers without offending their largest customer?
It will be interesting to see if they have reached the tipping point and if the tail now wags the dog.
We are living in interesting times.
PS Anyone thinking about buying a 9900 should absolutely do it! These things are beasts of the field and a tremendous value. |

No, it's big.
Don't underestimate the power of the big red X.
Xerox is by far the biggest name in the Repro world.
If they thought it would make them money they could put a whole lot of dollers into R&D, fortunetly for KIP and OCE they don't see the value.
The big question now is can KIP and OCE survive, KIP has had 10 straight losing quarters and OCE is living off color.
If KIP can't come up with affordable color they wont be around this time next year. |

I like to imagine this guy breaking down in tears while reading the press release because he's realized his job has just been eliminated. |
