Michael et al., A couple tidbits from the WSJ, Digits: Gambits & Gadgets In the World of Technology Dell Computer Corp., the direct-sales PC powerhouse that forced rivals to lower prices for workstations and servers when it entered those markets, now has an ax aimed at storage systems. At PC Expo in New York this week, Dell for the first time showed large-scale data storage products, resulting from a new relationship with storage veteran Data General Corp. The low-cost company adopted a sleek black design for the systems, evoking the menacing "big iron" boxes of rivals like International Business Machines Corp. It plans a broad rollout in a few weeks. Vows chief executive officer Michael Dell: "We will do the same thing we've done in servers and workstations by bringing more realistic pricing to the market." And a bit OT, VBG Elsewhere at PC Expo, Compaq Computer Corp. takes the prize for the most bizarre exhibit. Just in time to celebrate its recent takeover of Digital Equipment Corp., the Houston computer maker is staging a song-and-acrobatics piece meant to depict the "new world of computing." As dry-ice smoke fills the stage and vaguely Indian-sounding music booms, a troupe wearing Buck Rogers-style helmets and skin-tight costumes made of fur, silver lame and sequins writhes and somersaults. The connection between the Star Trek-meets-Vegas act and computing isn't immediately obvious.
