Sig, Hi!! RE: Actually , it was a surprise to us too, since most of the workers have been celebrating and partying ever since that HP/Cpq deal was announced - because they knew they were not going to be caught up in those layoffs. like some people will. When asked, Michael said "Well, I dont know just how it happened maybe it was just the luck of the Easter Bunny, or maybe those funny Steven ads, but I know Kemble will be happy." Employees have been singing and dancing to: "There's no stoppin' us now." And, each time they read or hear about another episode in the soap opera at HWP/CPQ the sales reps play Edwin Starr's hit with WAR: "War what is it good for?...Absolutely nothing"...Replace "Absolutely nothing" and substitute "Market Share"... DELL is picking up the old Compaq customers... siliconinvestor.com. Best, Kemble

Re: When asked, Michael said "Well, I dont know just how it happened maybe it was just the luck of the Easter Bunny, or maybe those funny Steven ads, but I know Kemble will be happy." You are onto something Sig! Kemble can sell Dell Computers, and and promote the Dell Computer image better than Steven, in my opinion! You are right! Kemble is happy! It's been too quiet lately! It is great to have some good news! :)Leigh Dell U.S. Sales Surprisingly Strong Dell Computer, Citing Strong U.S. Sales, Says It's Confident of Meeting Higher Revenue Target DALLAS (AP) -- Dell Computer Corp. (NasdaqNM:DELL - news), citing surprisingly strong U.S. sales, said Thursday it is confident of meeting raised sales targets for the quarter ending May 3. Chief financial officer Jim Schneider told analysts in New York that the computer maker is seeing a continuation of improvement in U.S. business segments that began late last year. Late Wednesday, Dell said it expected to earn $435 million, or 16 cents per share, in the current quarter on sales of $7.9 billion -- an increase over the $7.7 billion revenue that analysts had expected. While $7.9 billion in sales would be a decline of about 2 percent from the previous quarter, it was a more upbeat assesssment than Dell gave in mid-February, when it warned revenue could fall 3 to 5 percent from the prior quarter. Schneider said Thursday that the company is confident of hitting the latest earnings and revenue targets. Dell officials say the Round Rock-based company has benefited from a drop in the cost of components and by taking sales away from competitors. Dell is the world's leading personal computer maker and also sells servers, software and peripherals to consumers and corporate customers. Schneider said Dell's focus this year will be on expanding its sales of servers, data storage equipment and notebook computers to business, and on reducing costs below 9 percent of revenue. He said Dell also aimed to increase its cash flow and use some of the proceeds to continue repurchasing shares. In trading Thursday on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Dell shares rose 19 cents to close at $26.75. They have risen more than 65 percent since hitting a low of $16.01 in September. biz.yahoo.com
