I estimate Dell's earnings at .51/share with a 2 for 1 split. I am shaving a .05 of my estimate for Dell's branding campaign. :o) Drew

I found this letter about DELL on thestreet.com. Anyone in Austin want to comment? archive.thestreet.com For the Dell of It James Cramer: I live in Austin, and thought I'd pass along a "man on the street" observation about Dell. I've met lots of Dell employees (hard not to in Austin!), and I've never run across another company whose employees more universally disliked working there. They have plenty of less than fond references to "Dell Hell" and "Dellcatraz". Turnover is very high; coupled with their phenomenal growth rate, it means that more than half of their line employees have been there less than one year. More than one person has referred to the golden handcuffs of soaring options. I think Dell's a fantastic business, certainly the top success story of the 90's. But such a strong dissention in the ranks always raises a red flag for me. If they hit any kind of sustained bump, the shallowness of employee loyalty could really hurt them. Not to take away anything from what Michael's accomplished - just another factor to file away for consideration. David Murphy, Austin, Texas (received 7/20)
