Braxtoq,

I think that the larger point is that the GUI is irrelevant. We (who have been in the industry for a while) can remember selling 75 and 85 ppm machines for $40 - $50k. Now they are talking about 75 and 85 ppm A4 machines for under $10k.

The question is how you make up the revenue, and that has to be on services - and Sharp is not well positioned due to their thin direct side.

Also, since they are print copy oriented (I don't think that they really make money on scanning), they are really sensative to drops in paper consumption.

I just re-did my 401K, and I had a stack of paperwork that needed to be signed, and initialed, and I was able to do it all online.

I think that one of the results of this mortgage mess will be a universal conforming doc, and the ability to sign digitally.

Think about what that would do to the companies in high housing areas.
