   Nonesense.  HP can keep producing ink with or without Itanium.  HP
   can continue to be on or near the top of PC sales without Itanium.

   And HP can keep selling into Oracle based solutions without Itanium.

   The only question is whether HP-UX, VMS, and/or NSK will survive
   without Itanium.  Which is a question likely only to be answered by
   HP's bean counters.  All major technical issues have been addressed,
   and the minor issues cost money.
