thread, remember when I said that people just don't have a dell as a home pc.. Dell had three percent market share in the home market, but that has increased significantly over the last two quarters, according to International Data Corporation (IDC). "The consumer isn't their target market, but they started to pick up a lot of consumer sales through the Web," said Roger Kay, an analyst with IDC. Dell decided that if it refocused the offerings a bit and did some more marketing, it could increase sales even more, Kay said. One sign of Dell's renewed focus is the offering of DVD drives in its Dimension line of PCs for home and small-business users. A Dimension XPS with 233-MHz Pentium II processor, 32MB of memory, a 4.3GB hard drive, a modem, a DVD drive, and a 15-inch monitor is selling for $2,137.
