re: first artsy computers, now auctioning off lease units....whats next hand held appliances?????......i guess the "smart ones" on the thread will again reverse statements and claim if "mikey" sells off lease computers it must be all good....what a fast follower he is..

edamo, I have been watching this raging battle of personalized views of what Dell should or should not do. Whether Dell is first or last in doing anything is not a critical issue, it is how it is done that makes it good for the share holders. A good idea is not enough, the details to do it right is where the brilliance is. I for one can not judge if a product or service is right for Dell. However, after Dell offers the product or service, I have generally been impressed with the results. Keep in mind Dell's ratio of employee to revenue and earnings is half their closest competitor. You might say it is twice as hard for Dell to enter into anything new!

I would welcome handheld appliances if Dell offers it. In the real world of business, offering one product, however can mean not offering something else. I am just not in the position of knowing the correct choices or timing of choices, are you? Dell with their direct contact with customers is in a better position to know and make these choices. I can't see any of us getting a focus group of customers to decide it is time to use colors and change the box design. We don't have the resources.

Keep it friendly, try not to get frustrated with posters (like me for instance?).
Cheers
Mike
