Kemble, More info on Dell's interest in Japanese start-ups. :)Leigh cbs.marketwatch.com Dell Seeking Japanese Opportunities Dell Computer Corp. (DELL: news, msgs), like Sun Microsystems Inc.(SUNW: news, msgs) and Oracle Corp. (ORCL: news, msgs), is getting intgo the business of investing in Japanese start-ups. But in Dell's case, the company is going to let its Japanese subsidiary call most of the shots as far as investment candidates go. The computer maker plans to set up a division at Dell Computer KK in April to invest in information technology start-ups, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported. Not only will it be targeting capital gains when the firms go public, it also aims to incorporate new technologies into Dell products. The new division plans to invest initially in 10-to-20 firms, using surplus funds at the parent. Dell Computer KK will take stakes of less than 10 percent in unlisted firms with strong technologies and services in areas such as the Internet, servers and computer memory, the Nihon Keizai said.

Kemble, Dennis McKechnie, Pimco Innovation Fund, talked about DELL tonight on CNBC. DELL could be off to the races; like it short and long term; have been buying it over the last couple weeks. Who is the next Dell? :o)

Kemble, Hi. Great talking to you the other night. I just bought a headset that has dramatically improved my dialpad connection. Kudos again to you, Andy, Brett, Mom and Dad. Sorry if this is old news, but I was just reading Michael Murphy's Tech Investing for April 2000 in which he wrote...."DELL COMPUTER will set up, host and manage web sites for small businesses starting at $17.95 a month for a "splash page" up to $1,448 a month for active e-commerce. Needless to say, everything will run on DELL servers, but it isn't the hardware sale DELL is after--it's finding sources of recurring revenue by engaging more deeply with their huge, loyal customer base. Smart move. Eventually, this can be an IPO and add billions of dollars of value to the stock. It's a strong buy." Best wishes, Steve
