>>Have you actually been on Dell's site? They have a line that appeals to all customer segments based upon capability and price.. Just because I paid $820 for my Dell Inspiron 530 Q6600 doesn't make it low quality and that the company has low margin on it.<< Sinclap - Of course I have been on Dell's site. And I've seen their computers, close up. I've taken them apart and worked on them. Recently. The current Apple line is extremely well built across the board, and I can't say that about the Dells, although I'm sure they've improved, too. As far as profitability goes, you need only look at any Dell quarterly report to find out that they have low margins. I'm not putting the company down. They do a good job, but essentially, they aren't trying to do the same thing Apple is doing. - Allen
