As you may recall, he said that Dell fell behind the market growth for desktop machines There was a period right after the cheap PCs ($700 or so) were introduced that they sold quickly. The demand dropped just as quickly within a few months. During that time Dell's sales did not drop but the total market sales were higher so I suppose Dell had a smaller than average percentage for those months. The sub 1K and sub-sub 1K machines are not such a hot item anymore. TP

Chuzzlewit, as you know, once an article appears in the WSJ, it causes a lot of investors to react. I think Friday's comparison of Dell vs. Cpq demonstrates this possible reaction. Friday, Dell closed down 1/8 on 11,647,000 shares, and Cpq +1 13/16 on 17,142,500 shares. Of course, there's no proof that the article was the caused of this disparity between the two stocks. One must keep in mind that there are a number of Cpq upgrades and that the institutions have been buying Cpq. This may be the cause for Friday's disparity. Stock Bull
