Koen: <<<< 2. by the end of this month the number of shares will double, and I'm afraid that under the current market conditions this will be an excuse for people to sell a part of their position.>>>> I have had good results by buying selected stocks immediately upon the announcement of a split and selling after the split.Some will tank soon after, some continue on up(last CPQ split). But generally about 2 /3 time it is best to sell. If it still looks good after the split, then buy it back. Sig

Koen, Welcome to the DELL thread! I am pleased that we are the recipients of your first post, which was excellent. And I say that not merely because I am bullish on DELL. Many of us expect some of DELL's strongest growth in future quarters to be in Europe and Asia, so it is very good to have corroborative evidence of how they compare in the local markets there. From you post, it would appear that DELL is about 6% cheaper in your market with more features. Recently, Paul van Wijk, our Bearly Bull, told us that internet connections in Holland are quite expensive (in comparison to this country). Could you tell us what they cost in Belgium? I believe that this is a significant factor in sales growth and computer proliferation. TIA, and thanks again for joining us. Regards, 3.

I was listening to Austin's AM590 Computalk this morning and the host was answering a question about which type of system to recommend based on his experience, he actually said the following: stay away from build your own unless you are very savy, absolutely do not buy a sub1k PC from anyone especially packardHell. Stick to a business model from the majors like a Dell or CPQ, and a maybe a Gateway. Too many problems with the sub1k's, he mentioned all the standard things with hardware and software problems and compatibility issues. I thought his answer was a good one. Of course I do not have all the facts and experiences current out there, but have heard enough to steer clear myself.
