<<<Dell (DELL) , the world's top PC maker, was the only PC company to report growth in the first quarter, stretching its market lead over its competitors as shipments surged 13.7 percent. >>> And now suddenly Dells worldwide shipments exceed that of the old leader by 40% -I think.

SB, Hi!! RE: U.S. PC shipments grow in Q1, Dell tops--Dataquest By Allen Wan, CBS Marketwatch U.S. PC shipments grew in the first quarter from year-ago levels, while global shipments were flat, a Dataquest survey showed. The data marked a turnaround for the PC market as U.S. and global PC shipments had contracted in the last two quarters. Still, the research group said that PC shipments remain sluggish and that the outlook for PC shipments remains uncertain. "First quarter 2002 growth rates are based upon weak market performances in the same quarter a year ago and therefore, despite the apparently better growth rate figures, in reality, both the U.S. and worldwide markets remain sluggish," said Charles Smulders, vice president of Gartner Dataquest's Computing Platforms Worldwide group. "At best, these numbers suggest the market is returning to more normal seasonal growth patterns, but with little evidence of return to growth in the large accounts segment, the market outlook for 2002 remains highly uncertain U.S. PC shipments rose 2.3 percent in the quarter to 11.1 million units, while worldwide PC shipments totaled 32.7 million units in the first quarter -- flat from the same period last year. Dell (DELL) , the world's top PC maker, was the only PC company to report growth in the first quarter, stretching its market lead over its competitors as shipments surged 13.7 percent. Things really haven't changed at DELL...The model is still rolling over the competition...Article I believe yesterday on Asia and the move DELL has been making there is just one more indication that the DELL model will never survive... :o) Again I challenge the analysts: Show me how ya gonna stop Michael Dell from becoming DELL*MART? The market share he's been taking in whatever he chooses to sell...Is historically in a class by itself... Take that switch market he entered... What 6 months ago? Already 5% of the market...Can't sell Direct; Can't sell workstations ("SUNW is too engrained")...Servers: "Mainstay of SUNW and IBM where competitiveness is not just in the price." ...Storage "too complicated for a boxmaker"...Yeah, yeah,yeah,yeah...Michael's conquering anywhere he chooses to go...37 years old with more knowledge and experience than all of them combined... Best, Kemble

Does this surprise anyone...? Report: Clinton Discussing His Own TV Talk Show Thu May 2, 6:51 AM ET LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former President Bill Clinton has met with NBC executives in Los Angeles to discuss hosting his own talk show, according to several television sources, The Los Angeles Times reported on Thursday. Although the talks are only preliminary, one source said Clinton's interest was serious and said he was demanding a fee of $50 million a year and had aspirations "of becoming the next Oprah Winfrey," the paper said. NBC officials would not comment on Wednesday, and Clinton's office in New York did not respond to an inquiry about the prospective talk show. Television industry sources say chances are slim that Clinton would commit to such a plan once he understands the demands of the job, the Times said. The 55-year-old former president has told some Hollywood executives who have asked about a potential TV career that the rumors are untrue. Television executives doubted that Clinton would sign up for a demanding regimen of daily tapings for 39 weeks that such a show would require. There is no precedent for such a TV deal with a former president, the paper said, although Richard Nixon stirred controversy in 1975 when talk show host David Frost paid him $600,000 for a series of interviews. The Times said there was also speculation in TV circles this week that Clinton was meeting with CBS. But Leslie Moonves, chief executive of CBS Television, said his company has had no meeting with the former president and called the idea of a Clinton talk show ridiculous. Clinton has been making a handsome living since leaving the White House from speeches that pay $125,000 to $300,000 apiece. That is on top of his $12 million book deal. story.news.yahoo.com
