Kemble,
re >benefits of this land grab...<
This from an article in the WSJ today...
>For Dell, the strategy is paying off. In the first quarter of 2001, shipments
of personal computers world-wide grew by 852,000 units, to 31.6 million,
while Dell's shipments alone grew by 957,000 units. Dell's unit sales grew
by more than the overall industry's because the company snatched market
share from competitors during the period. In the U.S., Dell now accounts
for nearly a quarter of PC sales, compared with 6.8% in 1996, according
to International Data Corp.<

All I can say is Hee Hee Hee.

>Still, among the top six U.S. PC makers, Dell was the only one to report a
profit for the first quarter. < ggg |
