Sam, I long ago abandoned Dell and Compaq because I figured with thousands of PC producers, PCs were much more a commodity than DDs. Who would have known these two could be so successful in a commodity business. If Dell has now nearly optimized the perfect production plan (and can double it every 12 months), how hard can it be for a major company to replicate. I read in one post that box asssembly only required 11 minutes. When I heard an Alex Brown broker refer to Dell's production methods as proprietary, I knew the end was near. Anyone should be able to copy. That was many, many points ago.
