Chuzz,

WOW!!!! Absolutely stunning article. Thanks for the URL.

Dell is going to skyrocket come earnings release unless people get past the mathematically challenged reports and see the real numbers first.

The most optimistic estimates are looking for 50% growth. Most releases I've seen lately seem to be guessing at 30%. But Dell got 70%. WOW!!!

And as we all know, CPQ seems to have a habit of channel stuffing when they get into trouble. And boy, are they ever in trouble. :-)

Dell shipped roughly 1.1 million computers in
the second quarter, up more than 70 percent
over last year, pushing its US market share to
14 percent
from 9.1 percent a year ago.

Long-time market leader Compaq and
fast-growing Dell each had 14.3 percent of total
US PC shipments, according to IDC.

Compaq's shipments declined 21 percent in the
second quarter versus the first quarter, while
Dell's shipments grew 21 percent from the
March quarter to the June quarter of 1998, IDC
estimated.
