Paul - what part of Dell's model needs changing and why? You smart guys are always saying Dell is doomed but don't give any specifics. I bet you work at a very high level in the PC industry and are super duper smart! Teach us oh wise one! Wow pair-o-dime shift, sounds really technical! I'm all ears. MEATHEAD

Oh no! Not another paradigm shift!!! Just when I was getting used to the last paradigm! It must be the expanding universe or the Doppler effect! It's paradoxical the way paradigms shift, which no doubt goes a long way in explaining the paranormal, paranoia, dispepsia and PMS, along with Uri Geller's spoon-bending when coupled with el nino. And that's why the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal is much more important than Newtonian Physics. All of which is about as incisive as your inane comment "DELL ... will have to change its model[paradigm?] or die." But I do love this one: "Surely money and opportunity shall disdain him(or atleast his shareholders)." Let's hear it for the concept of money having free-will. Now we have neo-Darwinian existential capitalism liberally mixed with a few paradigm shifts phrased in the manner of a biblical psalm (to give it just the right ring of truth). So explain to me why HWP didn't tank when it made calculators that were higher quality than TI's?? Try tackling that simple excercise without invoking paradigm shifts or any other cliche. Paul
