| rude... DELL could really be having problems, imho. A good portion of their business is in the U.S. where, as I understand it, the slowdown in pc sales is getting hit the hardest. Last year I couldn't turn on the television without seeing a DELL PC commercial at Christmas time. Didn't matter what channel or what time of day or night. This year I see very few. That, to me, is an indication of BIG TROUBLE. One advertises more when things slow down, too a point, then as things get worse and it becomes a throwing good money after bad and it becomes obvious that one can't turn the economy around single handedly nor can one get blood from a rock, advertising is turned down in an effort to cut expenses. When sales dry up, sometimes house cleaning, like cutting waste, theft, loss, damage, and JOBS, is the only answer. Perhaps I've read it wrong but the pattern seems to fit. In short, I think that DELL is gonna drop an atomic bomb, shortly. El |
