Hi: Thank you Mr.Jobs. Pre-orders for 140000 of the new IBOOK'S confirms willingness of consumers to pay for quality. And thanks to Mr Groves for expediting his new chips. And thanks to the institutions for finally getting their heads out from "under" and realizing Dell's consistent growth is of value. Did I miss anyone? A few startled bears, maybe, who are making their limited yearly contributions? Sig

Kemble.... WHAT IS GOING ON? Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining, but I leave for a couple of hours and suddenly we're up over $2/share. I haven't seen any news that would indicate what happened, the only news of substance was the company that lost Dell as a customer. It that's what did I think DELL should switch all their vendors (or at least rotate them every couple of days.) Tom
