Gene, Actually, DELL had 13% of the W/W PC market in Q4. DELL's W/W PC shipments were 4.771M units, ~53KU/day. These include portables, workstations and PC servers. Figure about 3.6M Desktops PC's, or ~40KU/day. (IDC shipment numbers). Thanks, I was WAGging the numbers (though I thought the annual sales were more than 125M at this point). So your 6% number sounds correct (and you're also right in that I forgot to remove laptops, etc.). As for your joke, I wonder what the punchline is when someone's in the Management of IT. <G> Dave

IT and Management A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts: "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?" The man below says: "yes you're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field." "You must work in Information Technology" says the balloonist. "I do" replies the man. "How did you know?" "Well" says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but it's no use to anyone." The man below says "you must work in Management." "I do" replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well", says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position you were before we met, but now it's my fault." ROTFLMAO!! But in evaluating this limerick, we can clearly see who is withholding information yet claiming to be aggrieved <ggg> BP
