<<In fact, no comparably-sized U.S. company -- Dell had $18.3 billion in sales in its last fiscal year, ended in January -- has been as successful in turning the Internet into an everyday tool to enhance productivity. The organization has integrated the Web into every aspect of its business -- design, production, sales and customer support. Despite a long and diverse global supply chain, Dell operates with just six days of inventory, a fraction of many competitors' and a major factor in its prosperity. And the Texas goliath recently opened an online PC accessories store, Gigabuys.com, which after less than four months of operation reportedly is already turning a profit, something still eluding the likes of Amazon.com. Our interview covered a wealth of subjects, including the battle between cable-TV firms, phone companies and others to bring high-speed broadband data communications into the home, the explosion in electronic commerce, as well as the threat that Linux and Java pose to Microsoft's computer operating systems. Dell, at his company's headquarters: "Broadband is a killer application, whose time has come." >> Yamakita: Barron's finally has created a worthwhile cover story <G>. I love the passage above about DELL's PROFITABLE E-COMMERCE VENTURES. Lets hope some of those confused analysts and Fund Managers spend time studying Barron's this weekend. For investing ideas they don't need to go any farther than the cover story..!! Best Regards, Scott
