This just in: Dell to cut prices up to 16% across workstation line.

Brian, re:<<...However, not to be outdone Dell announced they were going to aggressively recruit local and regional computer dealers, including Compaq partners, to sell Dell products into the small and medium-sized business market. Dell has also ramped up informational efforts to reach this audience.>> I give up. I thought Dell was going to stay with the present business model, ie, direct sales and BTO. If they recruit dealers, isn't this going to be a major shift in the model? It would seem that Dell's and Compaq's business models were merging into the same model. Where did you get the above information that was contained in your posting? Thanks for the help in understanding what Dell is doing. Stock Bull
