Re: Nashville 3000 and big dreams Output per employee runs about $1mm/yr at Dell, To grow a $25 bil company at 40%/year requires 10000 new employees. Is that feasible.? ~3000 new at Nashville by middle of year (ahead of schedule) 4000 new at Austin (rough guess) Then only 3000 more required at all other facilities, Ireland, China, Brazil, etc. Easily done.(Brazil starts with 500, Ireland doubled last year, China is adding xx per week) Kemble will be pleased. Some people, somewhere, are working their tails off. There will be a use for the 7 bil authorized shares, the $ 4+ Bil cash on hand. When put in perspective, the temporary dram/chip/LCD shortages are just a blip. And the $22 bil arrangement with IBM for components and service becomes understandable. I happen to think Dell can do the job - they once grew production much faster, 70%/yr or more. Sig

JD, Hi!! RE: Meanwhile, as Dell nails down contractors to build its campus, the Round Rock, Texas-based company continues to surpass its employment goal for Nashville-area operations. The number of employees has surpassed 2,000, according to Kip Thompson, Dell vice president for facilities management and real estate. That's more than double the number Dell promised to hire by the end of the year for its manufacturing plant in Lebanon and technical support and training operations in Nashville. Is this too many? Best, Kemble
