George, I think you need to look at these events on a country by country basis. Dell has a plant in China, so we need to consider the Chinese operation as a Chines company. A devaluation would make the cost of imported components higher to domestic purchasers, but have no effect on internally generated goods and resources. But it would lower the prices of goods and services exported from China. So depending on the nature of computer components produced in China, it could lower costs world-wide. Or for that matter, if Dell's Chinese plant exports computers to other parts of Asia it could make Dell's computers more competitive. Remember, one of the major points in currency devaluation is to make domestic goods more attractive to foreign customers, and make foreign goods more expensive to domestic customers.

I am not familiar with Dell's currency hedging efforts (if any).

TTFN,
CTC
