Hi Dorine! Here is an article that includes Michael. He gets lots of press! At least the stock is moving up! :)Leigh DELL: Last Trade 1:17 PM 39 7/8 +1 7/8 +4.93% 39 15/16 texasmonthly.com Wired Guns corporate chiefs by Kathryn Jones Michael Dell, 35 Chairman and CEO Dell Computer, Round Rock Picking Dell for a high-tech power list is a no-brainer; how could you leave off the Bill Gates of Texas- While wealth commands power-and Forbes estimates Dell's net worth to be $20 billion-his influence goes way beyond money. He's the David who knocked down Goliaths like IBM and Compaq, and he is still wielding his slingshot. Competitors predicted that the University of Texas dropout would fail, but Dell Computer is now the top seller of PCs in the U.S. and number two in the world. Like Gates, Dell is also an Information Age philanthropist: He set up a corporate foundation, and he and his wife, Susan, personally have donated millions to charities and are helping to pay insurance premiums for thousands of poor kids in the Austin area (see "Shares and Shares Alike," page 8). Building the nation's biggest computer seller, creating enormous wealth and sharing it-all that makes Dell Texas' high-tech kingpin, hands down.
