John -
First, my comments were not specifically about e-machines but about the general argument proposed often on this thread that a more expensive DELL machine somehow has secret ingredients that make it better. In fact, DELL has remained fairly competitive on the low end both in price and features. My comment was directed more at people who think that the low-cost machines are essentially inferior, rather than at DELL's ability to hit that market target. Many machines in the $500 range are richly featured, well built and a delight to use.

GM was my largest client from the mid-70s until the late '80s and I had an up-close and personal view of astonishing management arrogance. My point was not that the Japanese were so good, but that the american companies were so bad. dismissing the low end for the wrong reasons does not foster an intelligent discussion. Your reasoning, as always, is first rate and these comments are not directed to you personally...
