re DELL suppliers -- Trend Technologies from Austin American-Statesman, May 4, page D1 Round rock is site for enclosures plant Much of the computer industry's supply chain is based in Asia, but one important supplier is building a Round rock plant to tighten its ties to Dell Computer Corp. Trend Technologies of San Jose, Calif., is building a 130,000-square-foot plant in the Crystal Park business park for computer enclosures -- the boxes that contain the electrical innards of a PC. Trend expects to spend more than $10 million on the Round Rock plant that will be equipped with plastic injection molding and metal working gear. The company expects it will employ about 250 workers when its plant is completed in August. Pay for operators is expected to start at $7 an hour. The company also will hire engineers, managers and assembly workers at a variety of skill levels. Trend is among the world's largest makers of electronics enclosures. Customers include Cisco Systems, 3Com, Apple Computer and Sun Microsystems. The privately owned company, which had more than $150 million in sales last year according to the plastics industry trade press, has manufacturing plants in San Jose, San Diego, Albuquerque, N.M., and suburban Chicago. It expects to build its first European plant -- near DELL -- in Dublin, Ireland, later this year. More computer makers want their enclosure makers to be located near their factories, Brosius said, so they can reduce inventory costs and control quality more closely. End of Article Looks as if sales may be very robust indeed! DELLisher and DELLisher, 3.

What is DELL worth? You wanna know? Tony: According to my proprietary formulae [yeah right] (i got many you know) DELL is worth precisely $112.50 based on 1999 projected earnings and if were to extrapolate the thing into 2000 we are looking at $150-160. Remember you heard it hear first and don't ask me the details as my calculations are normally left at the pub on the napkin.The degree of accuracy depends on how many beers I had and this I never know. PS: of course we won't get there on a straight line,there will be the normal ups and downs,ie approx. 70% 'ups' and 30% 'downs' or there abouts. Disclaimer: I can not vouch for the veracity of my formulae as they are influenced by alcohol to a great extent.<VBG>
