take for instance that scene in the lobby prior to the shareholders.....Michael was so taken back by the throng of people who were lining up just to say hello to him...I ask you...do you think for one moment he could fake the look on his face when he saw that line forming?? There was a ton of pride displayed by that smile...but, not one ounce of arrogance...

Yes, kemble, I agree!!! And when I showed Michael the picture of the house that he bought for me last year, he just grinned ear-to-ear!!! and I got him to sign the back of it --- I've got to place that photo in the lockbox!!!

Oh. Something that I've been thinking about and I would really like to hear from Michael on this issue. So, when I showed you the house you bought for me last year, just what were you thinking with that grin?

Were you thinking about the next house you would buy for me? Were you thinking about the next vacation that you will pay for me? Or were you just thinking that here's a guy from Kentucky that believed in me and the whole organization and I'm glad that we were able to help him??

Kemble, I'm immensely impressed with you, your enthusiasm, your giving spirit, and your insight on why Dell is a fantastic company: Michael Dell.

You don't know it, but you've had a great deal to do with my making a great deal of money. I've read your posts for a year and found them truly inspirational, along with other stars on this thread.

And thank you for the beautiful shirt, it gets lots of comments and gives me opportunity to spread the good news.

The words that impressed me most at the stockholders were when MD said, something like this:

"When a company lays people off it's management's fault"

Who has ever heard a premier CEO even hint at such a thing. Michael's dedication and humility were completely revealed in that short phrase.

Two of the greatest mistakes in life, Kemble:
1. Trust the wrong man.
2. Don't trust the right one.

Corollary: You can't make a good deal with a bad dude! [CPQ]

Dell will continue to eat everybody's lunch, and I thank you personally for your part in motivating me to take a seat at the banquet!

Sincerely!

DRM
