John, >It's perfectly legal to have a price list based on volume of purchases. I would guess that Dell get the best price from Intel, but they might not get a better price than a Compaq or IBM, but certainly a better price than a tier 2 OEM. Totally agree on that one. What I can't figure out is this special "deal" Intel offers Dell that the locals here imply, to keep Dell an all Intel shop. Dell gaining market share by leaps and bounds in this crummy market, because of their business model, and, as Frank points out, the stability and reliability of Dell's products, are overwhelming reasons for them to stay all Intel. Nuf said on this one. It comes up every now and then, but I shouldn't even bite at it. The Yankees aren't leading the AL East by at least 10 games. Maybe Steinbrenner will fire Joe Torre? Tony
