"They need to start a program that moves to low cost retail." Snipped this out of your post steve. You can not present a compelling argument as to why this needs to be done. Please try though, I'm interested. I'm guessing you'd love them to go head-to-head w/ Compaq and get their a-- kicked. MEATHEAD

steve - you still have'nt answered my questions. Why isn't Dell moving to adopt the superior efficiencies of Compaq. Why aren't they investing in EDI, ERP, touch screen, intranet, extranet etc. etc? Why aren't they investing in SMT PCBA capabilities. Why aren't they developing channel partners and relationships so that they can move to channel BTO? Why don't they just ditch their poorly implemented quasi-JIT model and pay you to implement a REAL system? Why don't they just pay for everything once a quarter so they don't have to pay the vendors all those expensive logistical wharehousing charges? MEATHEAD
