Ian-- thanks for your informed commentary (both this and other occasions) <smile> you are exactly right-- helping big company customers dispose of old systems is one of the "services" Dell offers. This service would be one of Dell's advantages in an "aggressive account acquisition mode", and has been commented on by several big-company customers as a money saver for them.

Ian, To reach the business volume of almost $ 20B, Dell must have helped larger business disposing used computers. This was done not through auctioning refurbished computers to homeusers. Whatever formula Dell has done so far in helping its customer in taking back the pc's and disposing them, Dell has done a wonderful job. Of course there is always an argument that auction is an additional business which is profitable, but so is selling mousepads. Best regards Paul
