Subject: Re: Dell now has 40% of sales via the internet-M Date:

Someone posted this on the Fool thread based on this article.Of course I can not vouch for the veracity of any of this until I hear from the company officially.
===================
Michael Dell:-

.....Our biggest day on-line was the day after Thanksgiving. These sales come in 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. More and more consumers are figuring out there is a real convenience factor buying on the Internet. About 40 percent of our sales are on-line now. We're doing this in 35 countries......

40% x $18,000,000,000 / 365 = $19,726,027 per day.

or

40% x $5,400,000,000 / (365/4) = $23,671,232 per day

First calculation has 40% annual run rate. Second calculation is a closer approximation of now has 40% of sales. Based on current sales volume and not average of 4 qtrs. Take your pick.
