Looks like the "pot head" press release distracted most everyone from a more significant article. Take a look at todays article that talks about how the war will positively impact CISCO, DELL, and other large tech companies.

I can assure you that some GIs/units have been ditching their desktops for laptops over the past few weeks. I have a very strong suspicion that Dell has already been a significant beneficiary of some of this laptop buying. Don't know if it began early enough to impact the past quarter, but I'm sure it will impact the next quarter.

If anyone has contacts in the sales channels, I would be interested in knowing if the crisis buying is as widespread as what I have seen in a number of local military units.

Hi!!

RE: Didn't Dell drop the dude in favor of the interns?

Yes, but he appears at the end of that commercial with a young kid (at a front door entrance to a house) accepting a new DELL system, proclaiming: "Dude, we're gettin' another DELL."
Right now he's in more trouble than Dan Sickles...

Best, Kemble
