Gary: I encourage you to go out and get Michael Dell's new book -- even if you decide not to invest in the company. DIRECT FROM DELL helps you appreciate how unique this company is and how it is committed to reinventing itself.

FROM DIRECT FROM DELL.....for those who have not read the book..the key points were..
- "I genuinely believe that we are a part of whats rapidly becoming the largest industry in the world - and that THIS IS ONLY the BEGINNING". - "the usage rate and penetration rate for PCs is still quite low compared to the size of the world's population". - "Our company only has 9 percent market share; if we had 50% like Coke, I might be a little concerned about our growth". - "Consider the business we could add...think products, you've got desktops, notebooks, servers, storage, and more. Think geographies, and you've got US, Europe, Asia, Japan, and South America". - "the real key to our success comes from within. It comes from knowing our strengths and being open to experimentation. It comes from the determination to learn from our mistakes and look for ways to continually improve".
