Some Key Passages from the Article on DELL's New 'Webster Computer'.... <<The Webster will be merely the first stop down a design path, said Carl Everett, senior vice president at Dell. Although megahertz and other performance considerations dominated PC purchase decisions, consumers now are mostly concerned with what PCs can do for them on the Net and on look-and-feel issues. As a result, in the future, consumers and businesses will look at three factors: size, style, and connectivity, Everett said. "There will be a smoother, smaller look to PCs in the future," he said. Among the changes: all-in-one systems with integrated LCD screens will start to get bigger next year, Everett said. Colors will also be a major PC modification. >> DELL is keying in on the important issues and simplifying the PC and web experience for consumers. I am glad that DELL is addressing size, style AND connectivity. I believe that DELL is seeking to change the rules of the game in the consumer space (yet in a very profitable way). See you in the 50s..!! Best Regards, Scott

Walcalla, re:<<The Webster will feature a variety of storage options, such as DVD or CD-ROM. Sources indicted earlier that some configurations would come with no external drives.>> A DVD or CD-ROM is not a storage device, unless they have read/write capability. As a r/w cd-rom isn't "cheap", I doubt they will be feature in the Webster. A 3GB drive would be cheaper. I think Dell needs to issue a clear statement as to what the technical features are. It seems that the press is getting things screwed up. JMO Stock Bull
