No wonder DELL is viewed so well. Look at this morning's report. "Dell Computer Corp., already the clear market leader in the U.S. with a greater than 20 percent share, continued to close the gap on Compaq Computer Corp. for worldwide PC market leadership, the report showed. Dell's worldwide sales in 2000 reached 14.5 million units, up 27 percent from 1999 for an overall market share of 10.8 percent. By comparison, Compaq, which held a 12.8 percent share of the worldwide PC market, increased annual sales by only 8 percent from 1999, shipping 17.2 million PCs worldwide. And during the fourth quarter of 2000, Compaq's sales in the United States shrank by nearly 9 percent compared to the period a year ago." dailynews.yahoo.com Russ
