Chuzzlewit, re: Dell and e-commerce. I must have missed some key postings on the thread. Isn't Dell presently in e-commerce as demonstrated through their excellent web site? In addition to selling Dell products, they offer add-ons from many other suppliers. This can be seen by looking at the various upgrades the offer;ie, memory, printers, scanners, etc. Would you mind bring me up to date on what expanded e-commerce services people are looking for? $10 million dollars a day of revenue through a web site, and growing, seems pretty good to me.

Chuz: <<Dell's core competency is in marketing.>> Chuz, I don't follow you. Dell is great in marketing, sure, but many of us - you included - have been impressed with Dell's strengths on several fronts: procurement and inventory control, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, and finance. Now you seem to be lumping all this under the rubric marketing. Are you suggesting that it is because of superior marketing that Dell is winning the war on the corporate pc front against CPQ and IBM? Sorry, I just don't get it. I think I'm missing a semantics point you are making. Geoff
