To see where DELL does business, go to their homepage at www.dell.com and click on "choose a country." Ian

Yaacov: I do have a vague idea as to how you guys do business in your country,but that is besides the point and irrelevant anyway.Since you questioned the method by which I gather information I thought I come up something more palatable to your taste,so here is the geographical break-down of Dell's most recent sales figures from a more reliable source and I hope this will meet with your approval. The only reason I am doing this is because you have posted some information about DELL which is inaccurate and farther from the truth. I own both DELL and CPQ so I have no problem with your enthusiasm for CPQ. dell.com So how about this for a valid source of information?

Yacov, DELL did 1Billion in business in Europe this quarter. But it is not in the retail channel.

CPQ is #1 foreign seller of pc in China, as well as Taiwan. Never see DELL in those areas!!!!
