Ron, "where exactly did DELL disclose the shares issued due to exercise of options? What was the number?" They didn't disclose. However, given an average price of $30 last quarter and $2B paid, they bought back about 60,000 shares. Yet the number of actual float got smaller by only about 30,000 shares. Therefore it is reasonable to assume that about 30,000 shares were re-issued and exercised. Plus-minus of course, but the total expense and labor cost misrepresentation is still significant, would you agree? Cheers, - Ali
