<< If Dell, which currently has around 6% market share grows at 40% per annum, at the end of five years it would have a 39% share. That certainly seems to be in the realm of reason.>> Dell doesn't need to grow market share by 40% per year in order grow by 40% per year. It only needs to grow sales. Maybe this is what you meant. With over 83% of the world population without personal PC access and the popularity/need/desire for the internet growing at such a rapid pace, it would seem that much of the world will be moving in this direction. Soon, with Iridium capabilities, you will be able to log onto the internet anywhere in the world via satellite with only a PC and a reliable battery pack.

Hi Chuzz,..Re:<<Dell is not going to grow their revenues at 3-4 times the rate of the overall PC market over the next 3-5 years. Absolutely no way. >> Famous last words of Mr. Murphy. I think people probably said the same thing about WalMart 10 years ago when they completely redefined how business was to be done. I didn't bother to look up the actual numbers but if pushed, would. Someone on this thread once pointed out some innovative business giants which were considered, at the time, to be just like their peers but I can't remember all on the list. Finally someone else recently posted a comment from Paul Engel which answered the same remarks about it being just like the others and Paul's comment was that Dell was quite different because of it's SUCCESS. Simple but true. Regards, Lee
