Stephen, >> I spent 2 days drooling over Mary's photo on the back flap. I couldn't sleep for three days because Sig posted a link with Eckard Pfeiffer's wife on it, asking myself "what has Eckard that I don't have". She is the main reason I'm long on CPQ instead of Dell. About Coca Cola, after you finished the book you perfectly understand why he bought it. BTW He already received more dividend on Coke than he paid for the shares. (Although he don't like dividend). Another thing that is perfectly explained is that deflation is a nightmare to the economy & stockmarket. I knew it was, but now I (better) know why. Have a nice weekend. Paul

SAY---LA---VEEE------------------------ ENJOY the 80's on DELL............... Corporate earnings will be dropping this year,,,that is a given and every analyst knows this and everyone in the world(if they breathe, they know that) knows this.............. Dell's 90% customer base is the corporations and they will be cutting back on their spending during the unknown 98's..... The phone lines for returns are so busy,,, my company is still waiting for "RAN" ,,,, Anyone who had to return a system to DELL knows what "RAN" means.... Return Authoration Number Over a week and no number,,,, Over 4 hours on the phone just to ask for a "RAN" number.... LOTS OF RETURNS FOR THIS QUARTER.... What a crummy company to work with....Disappointment is Mike Dell's middle name.
