Works.com, based in Austin, Texas, provides purchasing automation for office supplies, furniture and computer gear, and allows small business to combine their purchases to get volume discounts. Dell and Microsoft To Collaborate By PETER SVENSSON .c The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) - Dell Computer Corp. plans to sell Microsoft Corp.'s Internet service with its consumer computers, and will work with AT&T Corp. to provide Internet access for small businesses. Microsoft's MSN service will be called ``Dellnet by MSN'' on Dell home computers, where it will supplant Dell's own brand, Dellnet. The service is set to launch this fall, Dell executives said Tuesday. Customers will be able to pay for the service in advance when buying a computer. Dell will also continue to sell America Online Inc. service this way, but Dell vice chairman Kevin Rollins said MSN is better suited to take advantage of high-speed Internet connections like cable modems, which AOL software does not support. He also expected MSN to improve the offerings on their Web site, which have been somewhat thin compared to the proprietary content on AOL. MSN is the third-largest Internet service provider, behind Earthlink and AOL. The collaboration with AT&T to provide Internet service for small businesses will be called DellEPro, and will be more focused on high-speed connections. Dell also announced collaborations with Web sites that provide services for small businesses. Works.com, OneCore.com and Eletter.com will be featured on Dell's Web site. Works.com, based in Austin, Texas, provides purchasing automation for office supplies, furniture and computer gear, and allows small business to combine their purchases to get volume discounts. OneCore.com, based in Bedford, Mass., helps companies manage payrolls, 401(k) plans and expenditures. ``It's sort of replaces a CFO,'' said Frank Muehleman, senior vice president for Dell's Home and Small Business unit. Through the Eletter.com Web site, businesses can order direct mail printing and mailing. Dell already has other promotional services for small businesses, for creating advertising e-mail, ad banners and press releases. On the Net: dell.com Dell small business services: delleworks.com

Re: "new controls that could suppress progress. federalreserve.gov. federalreserve.gov federalreserve.gov Hoping for an end to rate raises Sig" Sig according to this article it's already too late: "No-change Fed Rate Hike Decision May be Too Little, Too Late, According To Martin Capital Advisors" AUSTIN, Texas, June 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The following was released by Martin Capital Advisors: The Fed Open Market Committee's vote to leave the fed funds target unchanged today may be too late. With the half-point rate hike six weeks ago, it may have repeated its mistake of 1994-1995, when excessive rate hikes aggravated an already slowing economy. "By raising rates then, after a slowdown was already clearly evident, jobs were needlessly sacrificed, production cut and income lost. The real risk of the current tight monetary policy is not recession but rather sub-optimal long-term economic growth and reduced corporate earnings for companies such as CitiGroup (NYSE: C), American Express (NYSE: AXP), Corning (NYSE: GLW), General Electric (NYSE: GE), Dell (Nasdaq: DELL) and Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO)," said Martin Capital Advisors' economic director, Alston Boyd. "The Federal Reserve's stated purpose in raising the Fed Funds rate is to prevent excessive inflation by slowing economic growth. As these rates go up, banks must pay more money to borrow money they then lend. They pass on the higher cost, making it more expensive for businesses to expand and reducing profits. This slows economic growth. Six to nine months usually pass, however, before growth visibly slows," he said." Go here: prnewswire.com TTOSBT
