Dell issues excess revenue warning Well, you know after the last quarter including the hot Holiday sales on the consumer trade we thought maybe in this slowest part of the year that sales might be down, uuuuuuumah, up to 5%. But with 3 weeks to go in the quarter its beginning to look like we may possibly beat our original estimates by, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, about $200 mm -more or less in the three months. This may seem insignificant to some but its bread on the table. and if multiplied by four, could be $800 mm a year of unexpected sales which is not so insignificant.. Actually , it was a surprise to us too, since most of the workers have been celebrating and partying ever since that HP/Cpq deal was announced - because they knew they were not going to be caught up in those layoffs. like some people will. When asked, Michael said "Well, I dont know just how it happened maybe it was just the luck of the Easter Bunny, or maybe those funny Steven ads, but I know Kemble will be happy." Sig |
