Hi Kemble! Re: "I just received a message from a close friend up here...His broker is advising him to BUY MORE DELL...He says that the word is spreading that DELL is not just a box maker and their B2B initiatives are becoming know...Of course I won't publically tell ya what he told his broker..." :o)Best, Kemble We had gorgeous weather this weekend. Yesterday, Daniel wanted ice cream, while we were walking around an unfamiliar strip center. He sat down on a bench, right in front of an A.G. Edwards branch. A huge sign was posted that listed about ten companies and what the ROI would have been as of 8/99, if you had invested $10,000 (I think ten years before). At the top of the list was Dell. $10,000 invested was as of 8/99 worth $5.8 million plus. The others on the list were far behind...:)Leigh
