Hi Kemble! Well, the roller coaster continues! And, the Bears continue to appear... and, I'll bet you have not lost any sleep. It takes time to line up your shots. Hang in there! It would be great to see Dell get more involved with ATHM and do something as a counter-strike to the GTW-AOL move. But there has been a lot of speculation with AOL and ATHM. I would like to see Dell strike first. They need to clarify and develop this Dell-4-Me strategy. There are a lot of random pieces to the puzzle still and I think they need to pull it together for the Street to buy into this plan, that I believe they must have. What is it? How are they going to get to 50%? Michael said he would the others out of business... GTW is still effectively in the game. What did you think of their announcement yesterday? I am thinking of taking Daniel to the zoo this weekend, but he could see many more bears on SI! :)The last time we went to the zoo, the Bears were hibernating. :)Leigh

Kemble, looks like these new chips will fuel the 4th quarter. Desktop dailynews.yahoo.com Laptop-Dell Computer will update both its Latitude line, aimed at corporations, and Inspiron models, targeted at consumers and small business, according to sources close to Dell. In addition to Pentium III chips, enhancements to the recently introduced Inspiron 7500 line will include a model with a bigger 15.4-inch LCD screen and a model with a new, high-quality 15-inch screen which can handle resolutions up to 1280-by-1024 pixels. Most notebooks today peak at resolutions of 1024-by-768 pixels, or picture elements. Other improvements to the Inspiron include a single hard drive capacity of 25GB--or a potential total hard drive capacity of up to 75GB by using extra drives--and 256MB memory modules. The design can also simultaneously accommodate a DVD-ROM drive, an LS-120 SuperDisk floppy drive, and CD-RW (rewritable) optical drive, according to sources. The Latitude line will include a new CPx "desktop replacement" model with a 500-MHz Pentium III chip and improved technology such as a dual pointing device, more graphics memory, and a rewritable optical drive. news.cnet.com Pat
