Darrell,
Hi!!

RE: Also discussed was the integration of the cateogry of the "PC" with that of the "Enterprise Division".

i.e., it was difficult from Dell's perspective how to define the two relative to category; specifically when looking at large corporations

IDC and Dataquest are also having the same problem. They just recently "redefined" their PC and Enterprise categories. By redefining the PC the effectively lowered the percentage growth rate of that sector for Dell as items formerly considered "PC" were shoved into "Enterprise".

Why didn't IDC and Dataquest make there redefinition more public?

Brillant...As I've said previously...You should post more often...Perhaps "we" consider that a given but I wonder sometimes if 90% of the investment world doesn't understand this...From a kid who barely got out of High School I sometimes wonder what people are doing with their money..
:O) You have applied the precise reason why this misperception is occurring...

Best, Kemble
