Thank you, JD. It is nice to read an article where the reporter can write and do the digging. Very complete, readable and informative.

Re Dells 800 acres and Southern (U of A) math: If it was a row of building lots about twice as deep as regular city lots( 208 feet) then they would extend for a distance of: (800X208)/ 5280 equals ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 31.53 miles down the road. Traveling by them at a steady 60mph would require then 31.53 minutes. Or one could walk at 3 mph for 10 hours to reach the end. Jogging is better, but Jitneys or trams come to mind, along with a Burger King or two.(G) Sig

J.D., great scoop! Thanks. From the Tennessean: When up and running, Perry said the new facility will be the most advanced manufacturing site Dell has built to date. "Production in this facility will be 50 percent more productive" compared to the facility in Austin now producing Inspiron notebooks, Perry said. In fact, though their smaller parts often mean notebook computers take longer to assemble than desktop varieties, Perry said Inspirons in Nashville should be built as fast as Dimensions are now in Lebanon. Additionally, the airport area facility will be the first constructed by Dell that will be capable of building more than one product line. The company could also assemble Dimension computers there if the need arises. "This is what Dell engineers do best," Perry boasted of the advances.
