Mohan, As a Dell shareholder who has been standing on the outside looking in for the past month, let me say that I've appreciated your posts. I would be interested in your response, or that of others, regarding Dell's expansion in the high-end multimedia market. I've been utilizing both MIDI and digital hard disk recording technology for the past five years on my Windows machine. It clearly has opened up a powerful and stable musical palette from which to compose, perform and engineer musical compositions. For years, Mac has been the dominant "professional platform" of the audio industry. Yet, I read many posts on the web that indicate an increasing level of dissatisfaction with Apple's supply, customer service and hardware "upgradability". I'm not stating this to slam them (Apple), just making an observation. Now it appears to me that Dell, who as most of us know will be moving into the #1 spot as a global hardware and service provider within short order, should capitalize on its effective business model and fill the "niche". And please understand, this is not meant as some earth shattering development (like an acquisition), but more as a small but very positive and concrete market penetration strategy. There would also be a certain amount of "image value" in moving into high-end audio workstation technology. I have some specific ideas as to how Dell might accomplish this, that I would like to share with you in my next posting. BTW, I thoroughly believe this quarter's results are going to rock our collective portfolios. This is going to be so much fun. Forgive the long-winded post. It's been building up inside me for awhile. Best regards, George Wave

Haven't seen DELL and GE relationship announced yet. My sources inside GE received this email via company mail today... The GEMS Work/Life Team, in partnership with Global Systems, is pleased to announce the Dell Direct Purchase Program (or DPP) for GE Employees. This program enables current GE employees to acquire Dell computers directly from Dell for personal/family use at standard GE price levels. Seems that all of GE is going DELL!!! Craig
