Kemble, Re: Or should we only dwell on the alleged negative? That's my problem!! You know, the glass is always half empty instead of half full. Jill says I shouldn't read ANY Dell news, and just go through life with a bicycle between my legs.......she says I'm happiest then! Your positive posts have been therapeutic for me. I just try to weigh the good vs. the bad, and try not to parse every word which comes out of management or analysts. The ESOP plan from my earlier post is bothersome because it represents such a large % of income. I'd love to hear DELL's explanation. Hopefully, as mepci points out, the distribution is improving. As a counter-balance, I remember the pictures you showed, and the last two days have been replete with news of new alliances for DELL. Long term there are no worries. Long trails with no flats, Kaka

Kemble, coming this fall...............DellEPro! DellEPro, Dell and AT&T plan to work together to bring other small business offerings to market later this fall. DellEPro will be available later this summer on Dell notebooks and desktop personal computers. It will also available through employee purchase programs of Dell's corporate customers. Dell is already working with AT&T to provide DellEPro services to more than 100,000 employees of American Airlines. Kathleen Earley, AT&T data and Internet services president, said the two companies intend to tap into the small business market segment by developing private label IP services. "Analyst forecasts show that small businesses will spend roughly $28 billion on Internet services this year," Earley said. "AT&T recognizes this and is committed to helping these companies transform themselves through innovative services such as DellEPro.' Dell's e-business Web site already features new Internet-based business services for procurement, marketing, accounting and financial management. To make these online services available to small business customers, Dell has teamed with a variety of application service providers including Works.com, Eletter.com, among others. Dell's Muehleman noted that Internet-based companies continue to view Dell as a former small business that successfully grew its operations on the Web to $40 million a day in sales. "With DellEWorks we're providing small business customers with expertise and Internet tools needed to start or run their businesses over the Internet," Muehleman said. Dell's e-business Web site was first launched in February when the company began offering Web hosting services. Since then, more than 8,000 business customers have signed up for DellEWorks services. internetnews.com Pat
