Drew, Hi!!! RE: Dell, 33, acknowledged that he's made mistakes in his tenure creating and managing the No. 3 PC company, which last week reported that fiscal third-quarter net income rose 55 percent to $384 million, or 28 cents a share. Revenue surged 51 percent to $4.82 billion. Those mistakes are past, he said, because he's hired many people whose talents are ''absolutely'' better than his, listened to customer preferences and tailored the company's model of selling directly to customers -- including over the Internet -- to boost profits. Dell Computer's daily Internet sales exceed $10 million. Gotta love the guy....sure doesn't have the arrogance that leads eventually to a fall.....athletics taught me this years ago...Michael is in control of his ego...One of the first things that impressed me about him was this lack of arrogance.....being 33 and having the wisdom to understand his role and the role of others in the company ....wow!!!....This part of his leadership is what makes me scared of where Dell could be in five or ten years..Most of the Dell employees and management are in their prime...on top of this they know they are working for perhaps the #1 company of all time..."Nothing great was ever accomplished without enthusiasm"...sure they have plenty of this.....but, his lack of arrogance.... this is perhaps the strongest part of his personality....Dell is worried about Dell...not the others... Looking forward to Dec. 5th.... :o) Best, Kemble
