Other thing is, I can't remember the exact number, but it's either 60% or 70% of Dell's sales are domestic, and the bulk of that is US corporations, so an obvious exposure to the US slowdown. HPQ does more of it's biz overseas. I used to make a nice living off this stock trading it between 22 and 28. It's falling into that same bad habit this year again <gg>. What was that you said, HP kicking DELL's ass? Could it be, even with MIKEY HIMSELF at the helm???

Best regards,
John <ggg>

PS - Dell has been down and out so long I hope my memory doesn't go before the stock moves. I still remember the first crack in Dell's armor during the winter of 1999 when they said growth was slowing and the stock was trading at 54. Almost a decade ago! Hey, maybe Mikey needs to study at the feet of one Steve Jobs - he can learn how to make a better Dell DJ Ditty!!!

That is interesting. HPQ is becoming more DELL like. DELL should continue to benefit from the drastic improvement in their reputation while they provided adequate service while Michael was gone. It took a while for the fact that service has become acceptable help them and it will take a while for the fact that service has resumed subpar to hurt them.
