TO ALL: I am over here from the Dell Computer thread because someone has compared the computer box makers to car companies.
I have this thesis that Michael Dell with his build to order, just in time manufacturing company which is virtually integrated with suppliers on the one hand and customer son the other has come up with a business advance as important to the computer industry as the invention of the assembly line was to the automobile.
Critics of Dell say that it will in time it will no longer grow at his recent phenomenal rate and become something called a "replacement" company like F, C, and GM? Does anyone here have thoughts on that?

Also if someone could have bought shares in GM eight years after The company first went public, what would they be worth today? I am trying to draw a comparison to Dell founded in 1989.
Thanks
jhg
