I can't believe I'm hearing this: 4 years ago you couldn't pay someone to own a boxmaker. Suddenly now everyone wants to own one at any price.

4 years ago the boxmakers were not technology companies. They were pure manufacturing in the classic sense. Now, Dell especially has invested in logistical operations - and this investment requires just as much vision, design, mgmt as any engineering product. Its sort of like Intel going from memory to CPUs, the whole business model, valuation, etc. for these companies has changed. The caviat is that the application software vendors are now trying to produce general software that will help any company do what Dell has done. If they succeed - and they may not - then Dell valuation will decline.
