Chuzzlewit, Re: >>Perhaps there are components required for the physical infrastructure of networks or telephony that fit this description.<< I would expect Dell to partner with the likes of CSCO, QCOM, LU, MSPG, QWST, (insert your favorite internet-telco-infrastructure-bandwidth-e commerce play here) whenever the alliance makes sense and adds cents. Dell is the undisputed master of assimilating and assembling technology in a way that enhances both consumer satisfaction and shareholder value. The home entertainment center of the future will be a voice activated personal terrabyte fiber optic HDTV video on demand too loud Dolby/THX stereo with a big ass hard disk MP7 virtual porno downloadin' monster of a TV set (goggles extra). I expect Michael Dell to be in the trenches fighting for our right to party all the time like it's 1999. You know it, I know it, the American people know it, we will still have fits trying to hook it all up. Yours in the Republican future, C Nelson

Some products that would seem to fit your model are: mid-range copiers (with a high level of electronic controls); high-speed printers, especially color laser printers; PBX telephone systems; high end task and executive chairs; work station furniture; cubicles; what else? Edit: add video conferencing. Not quite as high volume, but I think a major potential growth area if somebody can really work the bugs out. Some of the problems that will have to be solved to make it take off: true full duplexing so that conversations can happen almost as effortlessly as they do in a conference room; equivalent of overhead projector or electronic flip chart in every location; ability to exchange documents almost instantly, equivalent to handing out copies of a report around the table (either high speed fax/copiers or networked computers with display screens and/or high speed printers, since most people still like to look at paper), ability for private conversations (the aside to the person sitting next to you), and some other features. The price can be high if the process is good enough that people truly see it as being as effective as getting together in person, since the costs save will be significant -- airfares, hotel, car, etc. not to mention lost time).
