>>I have been very disappointed with the lagging performance of Dell for some time

Just how long have you been disappointed, Frank? I looked at your favorite stocks and charted the first 7 of them for 1998 (http://www.techstocks.com/~wsapi/investor/chart?s=INTC+MSFT+DELL+CSCO+MO+KO+G&pts=50&span=Weeks). Dell is #1 having grown 237% during that period; I would be more concerned with MO +27%, KO +7%, and G -11%. Your dissatisfaction index must be based on the last 30 days.

Price cuts are part of the semiconductor and computer culture, just as sauces are to French cooking. Concluding that a price cut indicates dell is in trouble reflects badly on your industry knowledge. Intel just cut some microprocessor prices; should we view that as a sign that AMD is eating their lunch and call for Barrett's head???

Michael's job is to ensure the long term profitability and growth of Dell. If you feel he's doing a bad job, it's your option to invest in some other equity, but if you broaden your window a bit I think you will be more appreciative of his results.
