Pat: I agree that DELL's history points conclusively at 2 for 1, and I would say that if 3 for 1 (or more) happens, then it would signal a pivotal change in the Board's philosophy on this matter. Personally, I'm just hoping for any sort of split announcement. I was very surprised that they didn't do it last time around.
