Dell is Not Just a PC Company

+Enterprise revenue run-rate of $8.5 billion
– Grew servers 40% faster than the market FY05
– Total storage revenues up 180% since FY02
+Enhanced services revenue run-rate of $4 billion
– Enhanced services growth of roughly 40% for past three years
+S&P revenue run-rate of nearly $8 billion
– In FY05, sold over 5.2 million printers; $1.3 billion in imaging revenue
+Mobility revenue run-rate of nearly $12 billion
+Non-US revenues have increased almost 60% over the past two years
+Non-PC businesses are over 60% of revenues

These guys just run like the Energizer Bunny. No end in sight. Turmoil at HP and inability of IBM to close the Lenovo PC deal work to Dell's advantage.
