Hi William, re:<<At this point it wouldn't matter.-Damage has been done.>> My point is that Michael Dell should have taken the same action as AT&T, as well as others, when the problem first arose. That was the time to act. Did you see how fast EMC acted when they were being accused that sales would fall off because of y2k lock downs? Re:<<Tough for MSD to say anything when he and his foundation are selling.I think he better quit giving speeches and get back on the job.FAST!>> I for one can't help but wonder how much time MD is devoting to Dell Computer these days? Instead of selling stock at this time, he and his staff should be buying stock. JMO Stock Bull
