Paul,
Hi!!!

RE: Nevertheless, Dell remains the low cost assembler of PCs, and its unsurpassed business model continues to threaten the competition. Therefore, it is more likely that IBM might want to subcontract the assembly of its machines to Dell, thereby using the profitable IBM parts and the efficient Dell assembly model.

What a well written post...as usual Paul!!....McDonald's losing money on the burgers is a great analogy....my friends just see the funnel getting wider....the profits leaving more and more...and the service is point blank making "them a killin'" .....The "overhead" of the PC business is a drag where the human resources could be used to continue their extensions into the corporate world for more service...I have a very close friend who is service...IBM would have him work 14 hour days 7...days a week if he'd agree...Is it any wonder that DELL wants a piece of this business?...Meathead says it's a $640 billion business annually....I like DELL's chance of using their culture with those figures...NO wonder hand helds and other low cost ideas are not a top priority...

Best, Kemble
