bob...i failed to include you as i don't believe you were one of the cult.....you are too rational!

agree totally with being non competitive in business, in the sense of "win-lose", that's why i dredged up some old posts...

dell needs to concentrate on dell, cast aside the fast follower plan because just as japan inc has proved, it doesn't work long term.....

i would consider a position in dell after the next earnings....want to see how it manages expectations, and its vision going forward....

my feet seem to be touching a silty bottom, now and then....hope its not a sand bar....or glub, glub...

good luck ed

p.s...better service capability....unisys can be had for a mere 4.6bil...

Re: big IT shops don't buy SANs off the web..

Just curious rude. Do you think that this is a requirement for any IT house doing business with Dell? Or rather, do you think that for larger accounts, Dell's web site represents an excellent marketing and advertising tool that is primarily a first stop for potential customers where they can 'spec' the offerings before going one on one with consultants, sales reps and account execs.
