Joe, Hi!!! <<<Dell Computer Corp upped the ante in the already cut-throat and competitive PC market this week, with the announcement that it plans to slash its inventory costs by half by year-end. At present the company's total inventory is equivalent to approximately seven or eight days' worth of sales.>>> Thanks so much for this post...It immediately reminds me of the comments Michael made when others began their attempt(s) at emulating Dell BTO...somewhere I have the direct quote but to paraphrase: Michael told us "we believe we are too far ahead of (the others were too late) the others and have more important things to accomplish...(rather than worry about someone else copying their methods) Interesting post...Dell is so driven to be the perfectionist even when they are miles ahead. Best, Kemble
