   WSJ surely made mud out of that issue.  They made it clear that HP
   was looking at getting out of the PC business and showed Servers
   separately from PCs, but repeatedly mentioned getting out of the
   computer business.

   So are they really looking at divesting BCS, or just PCs?  WSJ
   doesn't seem to know.

   It is clear, however, that in addition to getting further into the
   services market, HP will continue to be a printer and ink company.
