GBH: With respect to the attempts by Dell to enter the channel: I posted the comments from both the CPQ UK manager and the response by the Dell spokesman, also from the U.K., as they appeared in a British publication. I thought it was humorous. Did you not see this, or is more proof required? Your comments that eMachine will not survive make no sense to me, especially given the fact that they are flattening the opposition in the retail arena. Where do you get the idea that they will be unable to make money ? The company certainly disagrees with you as they state that they were mildly profitable last quarter. "And they are selling to computer illiterates." Your opinion? This is not what the stores will tell you. Many purchase them as a second machine. You are quick to challenge others for their unsupported comments, but this post has several assertions that are not supported. "They will never make it to IPO", Shall we make a bet on that? Best, Earlie
