>>>But the question of relevance to DELL is: "Can DELL still make money selling to that remaining 86%?"

The remaining 86% are not going to be ordering $3000 machines over the web. There is a price point at which
DELL's business model is no longer efficient. Are people going to pay $50 to ship a $300 computer? $200? Ironically,
in the developed world with fabulously efficient package delivery services, that price point is actually much lower than in the developing world.>>>
Here is a case where HPQ sells 200,000 computers for @ $560/ea. to a poor country.
Lots of government support here, which China is also implementing.to get web oriented.
The $113mm order would be a bit over one days (overall sales) at Dell. So its no big deal, maybe Dell did not even bid on it (hahaha)
It will be one step at a time, so we dont need to support the 86% non-owners.
Just pick up the next 14% and sales could double which would be very nice.
