Kemble: Regarding, But I do know...DELL will be the next.....DELL! There is no other... My Dad is supposed to order a Dell tomorrow. His friends have tried to persuade him into buying a Gateway or a Compaq. They say they are all the same. But, I told him as a stockholder, he has a vested interest. And, my Aunt and Uncle are really happy with their Dell purchase. I think he is listening to me... I hope so. I just hope he uses the patience that he has taught me. I hope he does not go for immediate gratification of having to have it right when he sees it. I wonder how many deals we lose to the people who buy without research and knowing what they want? LW

kemble, RE: I strongly believe an IBM/DELL deal of some sort will be done sooner or later I don't think that IBM would have devoted so much time and $ to the Intimidator, a server introduced yesterday that directly hits a DELL stronghold (price around $3.5K, dual Pent III processors), if they were contemplating a deal with DELL. In addition, IBM Credit filed $10 billion on the shelf yesterday. That is indicative of a company that wants to make an acquisition, not sell a division. So it may happen later, but I doubt sooner.

Kemble, Here's a link to the story: marketwatch.newsalert.com I like this part the best: The acquisition will bring SAN technology to Dell that will enable its current and future PowerVault storage products and other storage systems to connect to any Intel- or RISC-based server running UNIX, Solaris, Windows NT, Windows 2000, NetWare or Linux operating systems. This new ability to connect heterogeneous storage systems to servers of all types, regardless of operating system, expands Dell's total market opportunity to the entire open-systems storage market, which International Data Corp. estimates will total $38 billion by 2002.
