BGR, I will relax around you the way I would relax around a rabid jackal. You have jumped me every chance you have gotten, which is typical for your type. That doesn't even bother me. Join the club. However, when you slime me, and I prove you wrong, such as every time, you disappear for weeks and then come back and pretend you are an honest broker of info again. A bit sleazy and a bit cowardly, IMHO.
You still have no idea about getting info first hand. Why not look up the Merrill report or, even better, the original Dataquest data that the Merrill geek was quoting? Merrill did not misquote Dataquest. Reuters misquoted him. You used the Reuters misquote to flame me. When I proved you wrong, you played invisible man, again. And now you are backing off from your original, wrong, assertion, blaming Reuters because you are lazy. Again, typical.
Your data on Dell was exactly the argument I had made the week before on the Compaq thread. What amazed me was that for all your stat series, you were not even aware of the market share loss until I pointed it out to you. At least you didn't call me a liar for pointing it our, as your hero, Chuzz, did. And, of course, the fact that it was the worst market share loss by Dell in the past five years you dismissed as "not too bad." Since that is subjective, why not?
