Yes -and Mort is still doing the same wherever he ventures-Mss, Brli, Agi, Shak. Michael finds and works with the very best to do whatever is needed or planned. Its a talent that wont go way soon. You know what is needed- control of the options costs, a new way to inspire and keep workers, better phone and order service. May have to venture into new territory, to do those things -cannot find many experienced people who have properly handled an $85 bil corporation. Csco, Msft, Intc, all have the same problems, or the same areas where they can improve. So watch for what they do, as it might be something new or different. They will try to work out unique solutions Sig

It was Mort's joining Dell that brought me in as an investor, and I will always be endeared to them for the REAL fortune that they created for many. I have no comment on Meredith, but Mort definitely has been one of the most pivotal figures in DELL history in a most positive fashion. As was once said, 'Mort is the trunk to Michael's tree of ideas'. Rollins strikes me as not being as much an innovator, but rather a good manager for Dell at this point. ~SB~ (formerly LONGonDELL--- still long, just not as much)
