Rudedog, Hi!! RE: Perhaps Vanderslice was given his walking papers by IBM because the real "hidden" DELL deal did not happen, the "other shoe" did not drop. And maybe Vanderslice knew he was taking a possibly career-limiting chance when he did the original deal, and had arranged for a "soft landing" at DELL if the deal fell apart. In that case, the executive shift might signal a new level of hardball between IBM and DELL rather than the love-in being suggested here... Possibly...Would you believe I got "punched" again today...Prior to this announcement? ;o) Best, Kemble

Dog, DELL would not hire someone into one of the top positions just to save his career. There has to be a fit to the job. It appears that there is a fit. JK
