Sig, IDC: Direct sales to top channel by 2001 Companies reaping the benefits of this trend are direct sellers such as Dell and Gateway, while others relying primarily on resellers and other distributors will encounter problems, said Joseph Rigoli, the IDC analyst who wrote the study. "Dell and Gateway have changed the equation, bypassed middlemen and are distributing PCs directly to end-users," Rigoli said in a telephone interview Monday. "And there is a growing group of end-users willing to get on the Internet and order a PC." infoworld.com :o)

I sure hope nobody took off of work to see the interview with Michael. It's not that Michael said/did anything wrong..but Renee "Sam Hill" sure cannot interview. For those who missed it it was kind of like... "Tell us about your pricing structure and attempt to stay competitive." "What about the shortage of screens for the laptops." Maybe it's just me but I was hoping he'd ask him about the strategic alliances they are working on. The new products/services/markets...etc, etc. The pricing and screen shortage thing is OLD NEWS. Maybe I was reading Michael wrong but I had the feeling he was thinking to himself "I took time out of my day/meetings for these kind of questions?" Any other opinions? Tom
