Sig, Thanks for the thoughtful message. This is one company that has LEARNED from its past mistakes. A million dollar mistake is also a million dollar lesson. I personally would like to see DELL have back-up plans for component shortages, such as Gateway seems to have in the works (i.e. AMD vs. INTEL), and even a back-up plan that would take the pain out of a geographic hiccup, like the Tiawanese earthquake. JIT is wonderful when every link of the supply chain is in sync, but it can turn into JTB (just too bad) when supply of a vital component breaks down. Pick yourself up DELL, the world is watching!
