Mathematically, you're probably right. 10,000 share holders controlling 140M shares would = an average of 14,000 shares each. While not a huge amount, likely there are a lot of folks with 100, 200, 500 shrs. Might be closer to 100,000 individuals with an average of 1400 shares each?? I guess I really have no clue. MEATHEAD The number is probably in the annual report? Unisys has for example 36000 shareholders. I haven't got a number for Apple - but I bet both Apple and Dell have much larger numbers bought by people who are fans of the machine. We have companies here with 500,000 (Colonial) and 1.8 million (Telstra) shareholders - that's the extreme - one the result of a demutualization, one a privatization (have shares in both). Schwab alone has 5 million customers. Added 500,000 so far this year. How many do you think bought some DELL shares? David
