Craig, re: "I am glad to see them acquiring a small company that adds to the technology base for the company." Dell seems to have avoided the normal pitfalls of large acquisitions. I am very impressed with the acquisition from all that I have read, but what else is new? From an article, "Dell has traditionally spurned the notion of acquisition because of the cost and the difficulty in integrating two sizable companies. About six months ago, Dell went shopping for a partner to accelerate its drive into the storage area and started talking to ConvergeNet, which already had the patents or the patents pending for the technologies that impressed Dell. It also had no large corporate infrastructure and only 120 employees. "A large majority are engineers and developers," Lambert said. "What we're getting here is a strong management team...and a strong technical team," he said that complement Dell's own flank of experts."
