When my wife worked for xerox, and they replaced all 10,000 or 20,000 or so laptops for $10,000,000 or 20m or so, it was a direct sale. that chart does also show Lexmark selling about 3M in printers, and xerox does not make the 3m mark????? the 6 big xerox machines to the IRS were over 3M total. these numbers are the total of "one-zies" sales. >At 12:38 PM 10/16/2007, you wrote: >>>Orwell lives!
