Gary - the rumor likely came from Dell as they are aggressively buying back right now<g>. Seriously, I like you would like to hear where this rumor came from as well. There have been reports on CNBC of Dell vendor push-outs. People read into this as slowing demand for their products. But I know that these are isolated incidents related to product transition. Standard stuff. It's just a great opportunity right now to hype up any non-issue, freak people out, and drive the stock down. Only Dell knows for sure and we will too in a couple of weeks. MEATHEAD
