If it makes you feel better to blame others for your poor investment decisions, then so be it. Welcome to a normal market. Geez, at least DELL has disappointed when compared to expectations over the past year and a half, providing a degree of logic for the decline. A stock like CSCO has exceeded expectations over the year and is still down 30%.

Hi Darrell: This review was in USA Today today. :)Leigh Dell Inspiron 5000e: PC powerhouse ready for the road From: PC Magazine By Alfred Poor Dell Inspiron 5000e. The Dell Inspiron 5000e ($3,776 direct) we tested came with 128MB memory, a 30GB hard drive, 8X DVD-ROM drive (with software decoding), 15.0-inch display and ATI Rage Mobility-128 AGP 2X graphics circuitry with its own 16MB of memory. The price includes Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional and a three-year off-site service warranty. You can upgrade the service coverage to next business day on-site repair for an additional $99, which is an attractive option. The media bay came with an 8X DVD-ROM drive with software MPEG-2 decoding for DVD movies. There is also an S-Video output port to display movies on a television. The notebook also includes a floppy disk drive, making it a three-spindle design. The keyboard has a large wrist-rest area, with a touch pad cursor-control device in the middle. Documentation is thorough, and setup a snap. One puzzling omission is the lack of an Ethernet port; it should be standard on a desktop challenger such as this. The Dell unit generally led the pack in performance. It was clearly the fastest in the Business Winstone 99 test and was competitive in the other scores. At 2 hours 57 minutes on the BatteryMark 4.0 test, the unit was just 12 minutes behind the longest-lasting result, which is about a 6% difference. (Keep in mind that the BatteryMark test is far more demanding than typical use may be, and you can expect to get longer times than the conservative results indicated by this test.) If you have decided that you need the extra horsepower that the Mobile Pentium III/850 processor offers, then the Dell is possibly the best of the bunch. The notebook delivers good performance and an attractive configuration at a competitive price. Copyright © 2000, ZDNet. All rights reserved. usatoday.com

darrell....you do not own "dell the company", you own "dell the stock" "deceit" has nothing to do with a ceo managing street expectations. try to be objective, work through your frustrations, if you are going to "invest" in this "new" stock market, then traditional logic and valuation methods will not always return the desired results. dynamics in markets have changed substantially. liquidity is a double edged sword. i have remained objective, and have faced the proverbial slings and arrows of the zealots.........but the trend of "dell the stock", which had its genesis in the "pc is dead" comments in spring of 1999 can not be denied. "dell the stock" is in a very precarious position....if it breaks 28, it can visit 24....... no conspiracy, no nothing, just a stock that has fallen out of favor. the problem is that there exists a great deal of low cost basis stock, which the less then zealots are locking in profits... things don't last forever....."sore ass does not equal poor performance by dell the company"......but it surely reddens the buttocks of "dell the stock"... last person to leave the room, kindly turn the lights out.... good luck, i admire your quest for truth, but every day the truth becomes a bit more cloudy... ed a.
