was I in error in saying they received 200 shares last year? 200 Stock options with a strike price of $65 1/2 . They vest over a 5 year period. Any new employees will receive 100 Stock options with a strike price set the day they report. The other buzz in Austin is that the factories are not going to close for the holidays like it usually does. TP

SI was quiet for some time, I could not access at all. Normally, an employee receives x shares stock option to be vested in 5 years. Every year he/she is vested x/5 shares. The option price is determined at a certain closing price which could be the closing price the day he/she starts work. x could be 1000 shares or 500 shares, etc. Another incentive is putting aside a percentage of the earnings into stock purchase plan. Every six months, the price is set. At one company thaty I know the first six month the price is determined by the lower of the closing prices of Januray 2 and June 30; the second half by the lower of July 1 and Dec 31. I do not know what Dell's arrangement is. The management is very smart, and just giving a bonus 200 shares outright does not give much motivation onward. Therefore, I don't think that each employee gets 200 shares 100% as a gift. Paul
