Morning Pat: Tis a sad day for the world when the the American worker has been so productive as to receive a 2%+ raise which may amount to 1% after taxes. This requires immediate and drastic action by the Fed reserve board to raise rates and thus put move prices of new homes and cars and travel out of reach of those people. At the same time kill the stock market so they can't get out of a rut thru investments. Keep them glued to the drawing board or serving fast food at MCD.s Then destroy Msft so their employees( millionaires thru stock options) will not have to pay up to 30% taxes. So next April, with a marvelously reduced tax income, the government can move the tax burden where it properly belongs- back onto the backs of the working poor. In past years Dell had enough income so they could buy back all the shares in a 5 year period. In the end the total buyback program amounted to 1 billion shares with about 178 mm to go. I wish that Mickie would now do that again, that is to implement a new buy-back program of 2 bil shs.( no need to mess around, I think the old 1 bil was a record). For earnings IMO Dell has been within 2 cents of the estimates for around 25 consequetive quarters now. A miracle in itself...(G) Sig

Patrick, Hi!! RE: Kemble, The company also said it would supply U.S.-based Dell Computers (NasdaqNM:DELL - news) with Swedish telecoms group Ericsson's Bluetooth wireless technology, which enables mobile phones and computers to communicate remotely. biz.yahoo.com Bluetooth wireless technology facilitates real-time voice and data transmissions, which makes it possible to connect any portable and stationary communication device as easily as switching on the lights. You can, for instance, surf the Internet and send e-mails on your portable PC or notebook regardless of whether you are wirelessly connected through a mobile phone or through a wire-bound connection (PSTN, ISDN, LAN, xDSL). bluetooth.ericsson.se It must have been 14-18 months ago that we started chatting about this possibility....So, nice to now see some of the ideas you had coming forth here...DELL is in the hunt for hooking the world up...So, much for a slowdown in sales huh? :o) "SOON THERE WILL BE NO SUCH THING AS A BUSINESS AWAY FROM A BUSINESS"... Best, Kemble

Hi Pat! European PC Shipments Rise 5.6% in the First Quarter: Dataquest quote.bloomberg.com London, May 5 (Bloomberg) -- European personal computer shipments rose 5.6 percent in the first quarter from the same period a year ago, although fewer people bought desktop computers in the region. European PC shipments reached 7.5 million units, up from 7.1 million a year earlier, according to Dataquest Inc., a unit of Stamford, Connecticut-based Gartner Group Inc. Still, desktop shipments in the first quarter grew less than 1 percent over shipments a year ago. ``A failure in the deskbound growth rates has damped the whole market down,'' said Howard Seabrook, a Dataquest analyst. ``However in contrast mobile computer shipments grew 38 percent in the first quarter, a performance hampered by lack of supply rather than lack of demand.'' Compaq Computer Corp. led with 14 percent of the market in the first quarter, while Hewlett-Packard Co. and Dell Computer Corp., the world's largest direct PC seller, were the only computer makers among the top five who increased market share. Dell increased its market share to 9.1 percent, taking the third spot, while HP increased its share to 6.9 percent. Germany continued to lead the region with shipments of 1.7 million units -- a 5.3 percent increase from the same period last year. The U.K. followed with 1.5 million units, 8.9 percent more than a year ago.
