Jean: <<<I have some comments people>> Your comments seem to show the investment community's present opinion of Dell very clearly, and is reflected in the stock price today. I disagree with much of it, which seems to lack comprehension of where Dell is going and has a negative outlook on their chance of success in areas other than PC's On the bright side of the PC future are the students of today. Computer literate. Computers a requirement for college students( mostly laptops). A new class of graduates each year who will either go to work for companies using computers,(Ford, BA,Shell, K-mart, government service) or buy their own while starting their own business whether that be dentist, lawyer, accountant. I doubt if they will buy used equipment. When the auto companies go back to making mostly 2-door trucks instead of 4-door, 4cyl- 100hp engines, no radio or A/C, plain steel wheels instead of fancy aluminum, it will convince me our move-up and show-off society is finished. Until then there is a market demand for "loaded" state of the art computers such as Dells. Sig |
