Jim -
you are talking through your hat. If you are as well connected at DELL as you claim, you can verify what I said there.

As to the Micron contracts, those are forward-looking 5 year engagements, not a quick fix to a short term problem. Both HP and CPQ have specifically said there is no impact to their price from DRAM spot market issues. CPQ had long term contracts with SAMSUNG which the Micron deal supplements going forward.

But as you said, nice try...

You know that both GTW and CPQ entered into agreements with Micron in October, so either they did not have contracts or their contracts expired just like DELL.

Exactly!

TTFN,

Dog,

The only way you can get locked in DRAM prices on even a long term contract is to take inventory. The long term contracts guarantee relatively favorable pricing and supply but not the absolute price. These prices are renegotiated as needed.

Again, nice try....

By the way, I have not claimed any connection to DELL at anytime. So you must be hearing voices in your mind....
