Chuzz, Re: <JHG has brought up the only cogent potential negative that I have seen thus far -- the possible replacement of the PC with a more inclusive dumb computer designed to operate on the web. I think it is a development that we will need to monitor to ascertain whether it is a real threat, and if so, will it threaten Dell given its customer base.>
Thanks for the compliment. I am pleased to offer information to this thread from whose members I have learned so much. I feared I would not be able to offer much knowledge or advice in return. So I am glad to have been of service even if my concern was a possible negative. We need to be on the lookout for negatives though IMO so as not to be surprised by them and lose money as a result.

I don't think the dumb computer linked to the Internet will become a real threat unless corporations employ this Pc configuration company wide(not individuals) then Dell's corporate, governmental customer base might be under assault by a new, for want of a better phrase, "Internet appliance distribution company". I have no idea how likely this might be, if at all. I do think we should address this issue though-particularly if the cat has raised my lowly post on this issue to the level of stock analysis <g>
