Don't remember this being posted. Fez _________________ JCPENNEY.COM POWERED BY DELL Nation's Largest Catalog Merchant Uses Dell Servers To Power Its Internet Commerce Web Site--------------------- Round Rock, Texas, November 23, 1999 Dell Computer Corporation (Nasdaq: DELL) announced today that J.C. Penney Company, Inc. (NYSE: JCP), one of America's largest department store and drug store retailers, has selected Dell© servers to power its Internet store, JCPenney.com. JCPenney, headquartered in Plano, Texas, purchased Dell PowerEdge© 6350 servers to support Internet traffic to JCPenney.com during this year's holiday buying season. A recent JCPenney 1999 Holiday Trends Survey estimates a 147 percent increase in Americans planning to shop online this year compared to 1998. Forrester Research Inc. predicts nearly $4 billion in retail sales will be generated online this holiday season. "With Dell's assistance, we have been able to smoothly evolve our business into a Web-enabled one," said Paul Pappajohn, JCPenney president of e-commerce. "Our online presence has allowed us to offer more options to our customers this year. Now, as our ads say, customers can come in, call in, or log on, whatever is most convenient." "JCPenney recognized the efficiencies that the Internet affords and moved quickly to build its existing infrastructure in time for the seasonal rush," said Brian Wood, vice president of Dell's Enterprise segment. "The result is a convenient and customer-friendly online shopping site that will be mutually beneficial to JCPenney and its online shoppers." Dell increasingly is called upon by its customers to help them transform their businesses through Web-based service and support, customer relationship and business-to-business commerce solutions. JCPenney launched its Web site in October 1994 as an information source and online catalog. In August 1996, the company began selling select catalog merchandise through its secure site. Today, the complete contents of JCPenney's fall/ winter catalog (The "Big Book") are available for sale online at www.jcpenney.com . According to National Retail Foundation, JCPenney now ranks among the leading apparel chains in sales revenue over the Web.

Chuzz, Hi!! RE: To paraphrase Churchill (kind of): never have so many paid so much for so little! It's hard to imagine...my limited knowledge of investing doesn't give me much of a reason to understand why some of these "possibilities" are where they are...I suppose that the basis of what I have learned came from many on this thread..oooh and the constant pounding of ol' dad with his math... :o) DELL has solid earnings and as you mentioned...tons of cash...a ROIC that is the envy of the corporate world...not to mention the efficiencies that would make a monk proud...One question I keep asking myself: If DELL is earning more via of the internet than what the top ten internets do combined; times two..IMO DELL still has more potential via of the internet than the others...Why doesn't it have a PE of a trillion? :o) Best, Kemble
