Dell Sees No Cuts in Ireland, Workforce Up DUBLIN (Reuters) - U.S.-based computer giant Dell (DELL.O) said on Tuesday it had no plans for cuts at its European base in Ireland, despite the downturn in global technology companies. Dell, bucking the recent trend which has seen a sharp downturn for Ireland's "Celtic Tiger" economy, also said it was back to previous employment levels in Ireland after a round of voluntary redundancies earlier this year. With the addition of 400 contract workers, Dell now employs 3,800 people at its manufacturing plant in the central city of Limerick, while the addition of 100 workers brought the level to 1,200 at a sales and call center in Dublin and nearby Bray, Dell officials said. "I think you've got to just look at the hard data -- our market share in Europe is growing...our shipments in Europe are growing," Tim McCarthy, Dell's country manager in Ireland, told a press briefing in Dublin. "They have to come out of some factory, and that factory is Limerick." Kevin Rollins, Dell's president and chief operating officer, said Dell continued to gain market share in an overall lackluster market for computer products. He said third-quarter data worldwide showed that Dell's shipments had grown by nine percent, while the global market for computers and related equipment shrank by 10 percent. "I think our belief is we're not going to see it get a lot worse," Rollins said. "We don't see any signs on the horizon that suggest it's going to get any better short term. "What that means for us, we believe, is stability in overall profits and revenue, but we think for the industry that could mean some still fairly difficult times." Rollins said the redundancies earlier in the year had allowed the company to bolster support and sales people handling high-end products, such as servers and storage equipment, and to shift away from "the lower mundane stuff." He added that at a time when some other high-tech firms in Ireland were closing or announcing sharp cutbacks, Dell was continuing with plans to fully utilize its Limerick factory. "As we've had needs to add capital equipment into that factory, to finish building it out, we're not deferring it at all," he said. Dell will announce third-quarter earnings on November 15. 13:03 11-06-01

You lucky duck, going to Maui. One reason why DELL is soaring is that I sold some CCs (Dec, 30s) now I'm getting worried that we might see too much of a good thing and I'll be left DELL-less for Christmas. Quick we need some Analysists reports about now <G> D.Plen

Patrick, HI!! Well I certainly hope that you get eaten by a shark and the move by DELL continues... :o) Just when the cold of winter is setting in you make that exodus once again...Have a safe trip Patrick and enjoy!! Best, Kemble OT: Hey, here's another reason why I despise this woman: Gold Star Mothers is an organization made up of women whose sons were killed in military combat during service in the United States armed forces. Recently a delegation of New York State Gold Star Mothers made a trip to Washington, DC to discuss various concerns with their elected representatives. According to NewsMax.com there was only one politician in DC who refused to meet with these ladies. Can you guess which politician that might be? Was it New York Senator Charles Schumer? Nope, he met with them. Try again. Do you know anyone serving in the Senate who has never showed anything but contempt for our military? Do you happen to know the name of any politician in Washington who's husband once wrote of his loathing of the military? Now you're getting warm! You got it! None other than the Queen herself, Hillary Clinton. She refused repeated requests to meet with the Gold Star Mothers. Now --- please don't tell me you're surprised. This woman wants to be president of the United States --- and there is a huge percentage of the voters who are anxious to help her achieve that. Sincerely, Corporal Michael Briggs (USMC) Please forward this to as many people as you can. We don't want this woman to even think of running for President.. God bless you
