Kemble,

...and Michael told us awhile back that the competition not understanding the belief that DIRECT would be successful was our greatest advantage....IMO DELL is already three laps ahead in the mile ....

Dell's performance reminds me of a quote attributed to Gretsky when asked why he scores so many more goals than other hockey players.

The response was, "They try to go where the puck is, I go to where the puck will be."

The copy cats are attempting to mimic where Dell is; by the time they get there Dell will have moved further in some fashion that is inconceivable to someone who is solely focused on "getting to where the puck was".

And I don't see them getting very smart very soon. Something about old dogs and new tricks. :^)

Best regards,
Ian.
