I am still holding aren't I? WAY to GO PAT: Thanks for finally brining some good news on an otherwise f$#@% up day.<g> I especially liked the following from 'Computerworld',of course you know it and I know it but the dim-wits don't seem to get it.Oh well too bad I say.<g> Excperts from Computerworld. ======================================== Dell said that despite worldwide economic woes, his company isn't changing its strategy. "We've been able to gain share even in a market that's declining because we have the cost and service advantage. Even in Japan, where arguably the fundamentals of the economy are not very good, we've been growing in the high double-digit rates and are profitable. "The last three years, the top four companies in our industry grew at 33%. In the first half of this year, we've grown at around 70%. So we certainly haven't seen a slowdown. ....... How will Dell continue to scale its servers, and are there any acquisitions planned to help them get there a la Compaq/Digital? "We've been able to grow our business very successfully without any acquisitions. About two weeks ago, we demonstrated a 64-processor, 10T-byte system running DB2 that outperformed ... essentially a mainframe. It cost less than the monthly maintenance fee for the computer it replaced." "We have moved from being a fast follower to being a technology leader in the server world, and the business is coming in very quickly."
