re Y2K problem

Paul,

After reading the HBR's interview with Michael DELL, in which he focuses on how closely DELL 'partners' with its clients, and how carefully DELL monitors and responds to the concerns of its customers, I would be surprised to find that many of DELL's customers had a serious Y2K problem. Since that is probably on the problem horizon of any competent CEO, COO, and IT staff, I suspect that the Y2K problem has been a relevant topic at DELL's "Platinum Council" meetings. And I cannot imagine DELL failing to respond.

Considering DELLs large client base in Fortune 500 companies, I would suspect that one of the reasons our industrial sector is considered to be in better shape than most other countries and sectors is due to the DELL 'partnering'.

It will be interesting to note any correlation between DELL customers and ease of transition into Y2K. If I were a betting man, I'd have to buy some more DELL stock. <ggg>

Regards, 3.
