Mohan: SG Cowen's new Internet Capitalist Report (dated 2/19/99) has some passages that may clearly apply to DELL's situation going forward:

<<* The Internet is an entirely new medium
that is fundamentally different (it is
transactive) than other media and with
growth characteristics that are without
precedent

* Increasing returns drives these companies'
success or failure, that positive feedback
loops and quasi-monopolies are natural
and that it is a winner-take-all medium
where first mover advantage is key and
great execution a pre-requisite.

* Internet companies' business models scale
fantastically, with lower variable costs and
Web-server-scaleable revenues

* Online relationships are ultimately what
drive shareholder value and that breadth of
influence (reach) is as important as depth
of influence (usage)

* Not all Internet valuations are unjustified;
the size of market opportunities, the power
of increasing returns, great management
teams, and great proven execution deserve
premium valuations >>

Hmmmm......I think we know of a few stocks that may deserve "premium valuations." I would put DELL at the top of the list .

Have a good weekend.

Regards,

Scott
