<<Dell Computer Corp., in a belated bid to woo Internet start-ups, has quietly formed a sales and marketing division to target Internet-service providers and companies that host Web sites. Formation of the division, along with stepped-up investments in Internet-service and Web-hosting companies, signals Dell plans a broad new push to ally with service start-ups and sell to this fast-growing computer market.>> Sam: Thanks for posting the good news....IMO, this move by DELL is SMART...VERY SMART. DELL is more carefully targeting a strategic hypergrowth market (with its superior business model and great execution DELL could accelerate sales of higher margin products). Best Regards, Scott
