Hi Patsy! From Austin360. "Super Tuesday" was Super! Can't everyday be this fun? Keeping the Faith! :)Leigh austin360.com Now that's one pricey box When Dell Computer Corp. announced its biggest, baddest and fastest computer using Intel's 1 gigahertz processor, the company pulled out all the stops. In addition to 256 megabytes of memory, the machine has a high-powered video card and a 30-gigabyte hard drive. A Dell spokesman called it the ``Porsche Boxster of PCs,' targeted at hard-core gamers, multimedia professionals and individuals who must be the first to own the latest gadget. At $5,999, the special-edition Dimension desktop isn't for bargain-hunters. It's also not the most expensive computer Dell makes. A custom-configured Dimension priced on the company's Web site recently came in at $6,500. Downsize lightly Any time the human resources vice president of the area's largest private employer titles his speech ``The Upside of Downsizing,' it gets his audience's attention. Mike Vescuso, human resources vice president at Dell, told the venerable Town and Gown Club last week that a successful company must not only have a great strategy, but it also must make sure its resources are deployed effectively. In other words, said one listener, the topic was sexier than the talk. Answering an audience member's question after the talk, Vescuso told the group that Dell has no plans to lay off a bunch of workers or otherwise downsize. PluggedIn was compiled by Andrew Park, John Pletz and Jerry Mahoney.

RE: Kemble, you're going to have to get that fright under control...:) Yes, I saw it. Are we surprised??? NO, No, No. Patience is paying off, FINALLY. I guess a little humility is what most of us Dell heads needed after the nineties:) Well, enough of that, huh? :)) I don't suppose I will ever get that fright out of my mind....What this model can do with their relationships of 15 years leaves me with numerous ideas of where they are taking us....With Michael's quote yesterday it only reinforces these reasons for dreaming... Best, Kemble
