Darrell - re: the Average Selling Price has probably seen it's bottom in 1999 CPQ is on a big and public campaign to cut the ASP of commercial PCs IN HALF and they are busy outlining those plans in front of analysts over the next few days. I can't understand why anyone still believes this is a short term thing. The other guys are moving to a different business model and killing PC ASP is just part of the strategy. I think I have been saying this for months now... where's the exit strategy?

This preannouncement has come much too late and DELL has AGAIN mismanaged Wall Street. This is probably a good time for DELL to also announce a bigger share repurchase program with their "tons of cash" and for Michael Dell, Mort Topfer, Kevin Rollins, and Tom Meredith to STOP selling their damn shares (planned or not)every other week. In addition, instead of Michael and Susan Dell selling their shares to fund the DELL Foundation, this would be a good time as any for them to start "buying" company shares for their personal account to show confidence in DELL and help to rebuild shareholder value for a stagnant, and now, depressed stock.
