You're wasting your time Darrell. 95% of the world
population can't begin to comprehend the basic
arithmitic you just laid out.

One thing to use in adjusting your analysis is that
Dell said European weakness and Sm business. So
maybe only $100M of the shortfall came from Europe
and the other $100M from SOHO.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but $100M/1.77B is
about a 6% shortfall in revenue. Wouldn't the
currency problem have at least that amount of impact
if not more?

Whoever said that Dell's sales or Intel's for that
matter were not impacted by Europe does not know
what they are talking about. Any time you have
currency devaluation that serious, it upsets the
balance, psychology and willingness to by stateside
goods at inflated prices.

Once Europe rebounds, you'll see the psychology in
the market change. Remember that Asian crisis a
couple years back?
