Gary, You're "pretty short on time this week." I can't understand why a busy successful investor such as yourself continuously spends time disabusing us poor Dellheads. The lady prostesth too much Have you built and run a manufacturing/direct selling company, with products which inspire confidence and loyalty, given service that elicited respect and friendship? Developed relationships and personnel loyal to you? Operated in a trust and confidence that lets you smile on the way to work? Gary: the Golden Rule is the best rule! People eventually do what they like and which rewards them in ways not presented on the balance sheet, but inevitably appears on that document. The final great GIMMICK in commerce now is to simply tell the truth all the time, to live up to all commitments. Our nation has descended into a swamp of cynicism, greed, selfishness, immorality and despair because few believe anyone, and the simple principles of righteousness are jettisoned. I'm an old man, and a believer. I've seen the power of positive conviction, understand that a man with a righteous settled purpose is well nigh invincible. There is no more favorable environment than one in which everyone believes what you say simply because you said it. The Ten$ of Million$ invested by this thread are emblems of belief, not just winning lottery tickets. The secret of Dell is in the mind of Michael Dell and the mastermind of those he has invited to share his vision/commitment/character/competitive spirit. I can answer yes to the questions presented above. I sold my last business for a fine price to a competitor who never checked the books nor sent in an auditor because I'm known not to lie or cheat. In Michael Dell we have a man of extraordinary genius and character. When comes such another? Don Martini
