'Cool PCs from Dell', color and all. Jill: You say you want color PCs,well looks like you are going to get it from Dell. Oh BNBN CEO never answered me, I wonder why?<vbg> ============================= NEW YORK--Looking to emulate the success of Apple's iMac, Dell and many other PC makers are rushing to ship new cool-looking computers, although the verdict is still out on how far, or where, the trend will go.... Dell, one of the stodgier PC companies around, in fact, will get into this market within the next 18 months with a stylized PC of its own, said sources, following in the footsteps of Apple, Sony, Gateway, Packard Bell-NEC and others. The new designs are another sign that Dell is expanding into new territory. The computer maker had a busy few days in New York, announcing an upcoming ISP service in the U.S., support for Rambus technology, and other moves.... "Megahertz doesn't matter anymore," said Carl Everett, senior vice president of Dell Computer. Instead, consumers are demanding high-speed Internet access and attractive and space-saving designs, like the iMac.... To succeed, such a system should be more a hybrid between notebook and desktop system, Everett said. A true all-in-one should offer some measure of portability, as well as more advanced design, he said. Michael Dell, speaking in an interview with CNET News.com, added that the company is conducting focus groups to determine which cosmetic features are important to consumers, especially women. news.com
