Thanks to David and everyone who contributed. DELL is truly a unique company. I think the current share price is justified.

TO ALL: WHERE IS DELL ON THE PROCESS MATURITY LEVEL? THIS MAY QUALIFY THAT DELL'S SEEMINGLY CONTINUED AND MIRACLULOUS RUNUP IS REALLY JUST A PROCESS OF DISCOVERY THAT IT HAS, IN THE PUBLIC'S EYE (IMHO), REACHED A PROCESS MATURITY LEVEL OF 4 (SEE BELOW). WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF DELL'S PROCESS MATURITY LEVEL GIVEN... Dell's Order Fulfillment BTO/ATO processing this 7 work day order cycle starts after the order is confirmed, credit approval or cash receipt requirements (which ever the customer profile dictates) and ends with a shipment confirmation and subsequent invoice generation. This is completed within SEVEN DAYS...AMAZINGLY FAST. STRATEGICALLY ADVANCED! What are the ramifications of such a globally strategic, and "on-the-fly" enabled manufacturing positioned? Well measuring Dell against the "...five levels of process maturity namely, 1-Initial; rudimentary predictability of schedule and cost; 2-repeatable; repeatable level of statistical control; 3-defined; consistent implementation via use of advanced technology; 4-managed; initiation of comprehensive process management & analysis; 5-optimizing; establish foundation of true continuous performance. AGAIN WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?
