Well, you guys have been busy. Take a few days off and look at all the reading one has to do to catch up. Just what my family wanted to see.

Anyway, here's a post that I thought interesting.

Mining for Market Secrets
Digging deep into a company and its market yields rich rewards. I hit paydirt on both Dell and FDX.
By Jim Jubak

Know what the most popular brand of PC was in 1997? (I'll make this easy: North American sales only.) Compaq? Dell?

Nah -- neither. According to research by Channel Information Services, the "no-brand" PC was the winner -- the 6.4 million units assembled and sold by consultants and other resellers. Compaq (CPQ), the biggest-name vendor, sold 5.1 million. Dell (DELL) came in third at 2.9 million units.

Regards,

Mark
