Rosemary, DEll didn't get mentioned in your asia article as Dell isn't a big enough player there, yet. Good news for Dell in europe and now an upward trend in asia for PC sales. This earnings report still looks good. Enjoy the Denny's tour, Pat

Rosemary, Thanks for the article. I would like to see DELL's name among the leading Asian computer retailers, but it may take some time. Because of the 'emerging market' environment, it may not be cost effective or even affordable for start up and smaller businesses to acquire cutting edge technology. An 'obsolescent' 486 might serve their needs admirably at a low capital outlay. Or one of the more modern sub-1000s might be better suited. That said, Asia may become a vortex for DELL's used lease machines. I have no clue as to how difficult or costly it may be to modify such a machine for a Chinese, Thai, or Malaysian user who speaks no English--it may be as simple as installing software. But the cost would not be prohibitive. (I heard a radio advertisement Monday that a 200MHz Pentium with 64M could be had at the outlet for $999.) 3.
