IBM regains No 2. DELL outgrew IBM ?!?! I am sure someone on this thread can make sense of these two seemingly incongruous statements; 1. <<while IBM regained the No. 2 world rank and after slipping to third behind fast-growing Dell in the second quarter>> 2. <<Taking advantage of its efficient direct-to-the-customer sales approach, Dell grew above 60 percent, several times the rate of IBM's growth>> Is it possible to logically have these two statements being both true? Or am I missing something? B&H source;http://biz.yahoo.com/rf/981026/i.html
