Re: news400 goes negative on IBM?

[Neil Palmer/DPS <neilp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

After the 'no-compete' period expired after the Lexmark sale, IBM did 
indeed start making (or OEMing from someplace else) a range of 
laserprinters.  In the last few years they've gone back to Lexmark as the 
OEM supplier.

Re: news400 goes negative on IBM?






I might be wrong but I believe IBM retained a interest in
Lexmark even after the sale/whateveryoucallit.
They just did some magic accounting and pooof, no more
Lexmark. They have never stopped using Lexmark and continue
to this day.

That entire nonsense has always remained a mystery to
me and many others. Lexmark continues to plug along
and make money without moving to China...
