Gary,
Hi!!

RE: AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 17, 2002--Dell (Nasdaq:DELL) high-performance computing clusters are powering more of the world's important research at leading institutions such as The Pennsylvania State University's Academic Services and Emerging Technologies (ASET), a unit of Information Technology Services (ITS).

Penn State is deploying three clusters using nearly 400 Dell(tm) PowerEdge(tm) servers running Red Hat Linux to solve complex computational problems for research projects in biology, chemistry, meteorology and physics departments. These include the modeling of weather patterns, the prediction and control of human disease epidemics, models of intervention strategies for control of bio-terrorism agents, the study of laser abalation -- the procedure used in LASIK laser eye surgery, gravitational physics and economic-theory modeling.

Approximately two years ago a reporter from the Austin Statesman discussed the amazing things that DELL and science could possibly put together some day soon...

Best, Kemble

With the EDS warning tonight, IBM and the other big systems vendors will take a hit tommorrow. As tech spending continues to crumble, I'll be watching with interest to see how long Dell can hold up. Dell was a $16 stock after 9/11, and looking at Intel trading at $15, I'm wondering how long Dell can avoid becoming a teenager again. It's amazing how many techs are now single digit stocks. Very few major techs are even trading in the 20's anymore. With the changes in the market, I was thinking about the '10 most bookmarked posters on SI'. Folks like Paul Engel on the Intel thread, Ibexx, Greg Mullineaux(SP?), and a few others. From what I can tell, half of them don't even post anymore. So much for bullish 'gurus'... I also found my old May 11,1998 copy of Fortune, with the piece on the Dellheads. It mentioned Venkie, Steve Mach (LONGONDELL/LONGONFIBER/SECULARBULL) and others. Don't see them posting anymore either.

Regards,
John

PS - And where's the venerable Jim Kelley??? I used to enjoy arguing with him. Are you still out there Jim? Or did you get into those cement stocks??? <ggg>
