Then I suggest you short it. Ignore what Dell has been saying -- just short it. Ignore the new assembly plants being built (the demand is an illusion) --just short it. Ignore the fact that this argument has been made before - just short it. Then, when your shorts are squeezing your private parts, come back and tell us how you were right and the market was wrong. So go ahead. Just Short it! Regards, Paul

ref:Y2K leaves no money for PCS. You must have read a few popular magazine articles by some self proclaimed experts,haven't ya???? Funny I heard many of the corporations will be forced to upgrade their systems just because of the Y2K 'thang' to me that indicates increased demand for highend serves and workstations. It goes to show you how two people can look at the same info and take contrary views,well it is your money as for mine it is multiplying in geometric proportions or is it arithmetic??

James: This should be an interesting operation, to check out all the new Dell computers at Ford using Vias software I assume those were (or will be)year 2000 compatible computers and the defects will be found in whatever programs Ford uses. biz.yahoo.com My guess would be that if defects existed in both the hardware and the programs, then a company may decide to buy new computers that are year 2000 compliant so they can more easily identify just what needs to be fixed. It has been stated somewhere that the cost of a company for maintaining one computer is around $10,000 a year, in spite of the fact the computer may only cost $2500. Dell's big advantage in company sales lies more in keeping the overall cost of ownership down, more than in the basic cost of the computer. Sig
