Apple Says It's Still No. 1 in Sales of Computers to Schools Cupertino, California, Nov. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Apple Computer Inc., best known for its Macintosh line of computers, said it's still No. 1 in sales of personal computers to U.S. educational institutions, disputing a claim by Dell Computer Corp. Reports from Scholastic Corp.'s Quality Education Data and International Data Corp. show that Apple holds the No. 1 position in the market, the company said. Figures used by Dell didn't incorporate Apple's direct sales in its calculations, relying instead on vendor and channel surveys, Apple said. Round Rock, Texas-based Dell last week said it had surpassed Apple in the U.S. educational market, citing data compiled by Dataquest, a unit of Stanford, Connecticut-based Gartner Group Inc., an information-technology consulting company. Shares of Cupertino, California-based Apple fell 2 1/2 to 77 5/8. Dell shares rose 5/8 to 40 3/4. Apple's statement was released after the close of regular U.S. trading.

Calvin, Hi!! RE: When asked whether rival Compaq Computer Corp.'s slump would ever end, the chairman said Compaq's problems stemmed from its purchase of Digital Equipment Corp. last year. ``This complicated the business that they're managing to a level that nobody anticipated,' Dell said. He said that by comparison to Dell, Houston-based Compaq's costs are ``a little more than twice ours, and essentially their gross margin and operating costs are the same.' Dell, 34, said that for Compaq, the world's biggest PC maker, to be competitive with Dell Computer, it would have to have half the number of employees it does today, and the remaining employees would have to do the same things that the people at Round Rock, Texas-based Dell do. First of all Calvin...Thanks for the article...another tip from management where those that have been following the announcements will find the fit to DELL's future...IMO this statement could perhaps be the long version of Michael's conversation with Mort..... "CHECKMATE"... :o) Best, Kemble
