If that's "a ways off", then what's going to cause Dell's extinction in the meantime?

OK....I'm betting that if that happens, Dell is well positioned to be a part of it. I dont think that this change will be a radical new product but a gradual switch, when it comes.
M.D. is not one to rest on his laurels. He has everything he needs now to live comfortably the rest of his life. But he won't do that He has surrounded himself with others of the same mindset. He is the kind of person that aggressively seeks out new ideas and challenges. I think he has just got started. Like Gates!!

Lucretius,
Felt I had to comment on your comment in regard to the mainframe. It's far from 'replaced', still runs the Fortune 500, and will be around for some time to come. Legacy software is not easily replaced, and WIN NT (WIN2000 included) will not have the scalability and reliability of MVS for years. IBM is selling a bunch of mainframe MIPS, especially with their new G5 machine. Their stock is at all time highs....
