<<<will repeat for the hard of hearing. No chance for Dell to move it's model & limited R&D to a proprietary, high reliability/high performance standard.>>> Your statement assumes that those should be Dells goals, ie, high R+D and proprietary, but the converse is where Dell has successfully been. IBM's had trouble converting their years of high R& D into profits. Compaq has profited little from the Tandem and DEC R&D efforts, and IMO suffers from proprietary designs where one needs adapters to use a different CD player, for example. Dell invents things to make their factories more efficient or the assembly of computers simpler, or integrates storage products, or makes the state of the art systems compatible and available at low cost. Dell sells the product of IBM ( and other) research. So...... no major R+D nor proprietary stuff as its commonly known elsewhere. For high reliability and performance, Dell has no problem Dell=38 1/2, toot toot Sig
