Quote of the day=Dell: "Dell.com is spoken everywhere in the world." Kwan: Thanks for the link to that great interview form ZDNET, I like what I hear,like the following for example. ====================================================== Q: What have you learned so far? DELL This is a global phenomenon. It is not a country-specific phenomenon. Dell.com is spoken everywhere in the world. ............... Q: How is the acceptance of Web sales progressing outside the U.S.? DELL: About nine months to a year ago, we were saying that the U.S. was about two years ahead of the rest of the world. Now, we're finding it's only about six months to nine months ahead. These markets are catching up quickly. Q: What is the indicator or indicators you use to know that the gap is closing? DELL: It's things like the percentage of business our customers do online, the usage of Web tools, the usage of Web sites, sales leads generated off the Web. Recently, we held a conference for our Platinum customers in Europe. These are our biggest customers. Eighty percent registered for the conference online. Also, about 65 percent of our online sales now come from Premier Pages [Web sites created for specific corporations]. Not too long ago, that was in the single digits. zdnet.com
