Kaka, You're right. Dell sucks. The suckwad company that went from last place to first place in ten years sucks. It can't do it again. It's call the Law of Large Women Playing Polo. SUNW can do it. EMC can do it. Qcom, Cisco, Intel, IBM; but not slow sister Dell. Dell is just too bloated to explode during a replacement cycle upturn. Someone should tell those businesses in Shanghai and HongKong that they are not supposed to be buying direct. It's not in their nature. Those short Dell could write a Red Book on the pitfalls of buying direct and pass it out to all Chinese; start another revolution against the bougiouse. So, I wonder what it's like to be short Dell and be a card carrying member of the Prolitariate?

Kaka,DJ,Sig,etc... Hi!! Ain't it amazin'? For how many years now has DELL kicked the shit out the competition and the pundits keep making comments that they can't do it again or again or now again in this or that... I'm surely not the smartest guy that ever got kicked through high school but one of the first things I learned five years ago was the DELL model is unstoppable...Sure articles have been written explaining this over and over..But, it seems anyone that wants to make a name for themselves in an article takes a poke at DELL...Where are those that proclaimed about SUNW and the workstations?...Hell, I have so many articles proclaiming "they'll never be able to invade this arena and beat SUNW"...People are still skeptical of Michael's dream...Those that are probably couldn't run a McDonald's yet they keep telling folks he's fallen...Has anyone asked recently what DELL's retention rate is once they have a new customer? :o) Have we forgotten what the services end of the revenue can bring to their bottom line? 80% plus ain't bought one yet and the upgrades that are coming??? Interesting... What will happen with the others when Michael tells us that they need to find a way to reduce spending 40%!!!!!! Keep doubting folks...Keep doubting...The only problem with the PC industry is DELL...Yep, they have virtually stolen all the profits... The way I figure it...Six more quarters to go... Best, Kemble
