Hi Chuzz,..Re:<<As soon as a computer is loaded on a common carrier it is a sale. >> Now we're getting into specifics. I think sales are booked when they occur, and ownership is booked when the customer takes delivery. For instance, the product can be loaded onto the truck, but if the delivery instructions read FOB site, Dell still has to carry the insurance and all liabilities associated with ownership. However, if the instructions read FOB ex-works I think this generally means the end user takes ownership as soon as it exits Dell property. It seems I remember we used to differentiate between sales and bookings and this may be part of the reason. Regards, Lee
