Please cite a real source for this statement.   Some searching on Google
by 
me only turned up "rumors" during 2005 with the EK CEO Perez confirming
that 
when he was at HP he spent 15 days looking at an EK acquisition.  There
was 
NOTHING to suggest EK instigated it.  HP & EK have had joint ventures
going 
back to at least 2000, and since HP was rethinking strategy post-Fiorina,
I 
see no reason to assume EK initiated discussions. HP apparently looked at 
acquiring Xerox as well.  Wall Street apparently was not impressed with
the 
possibility of either acquisition.
