Thanks Elwood. Yes, I saw the post with the bet. Just wondering if Dell might have another (albeit smaller) one of it's first half of the year runs. I saw another poster (Jock Hutchinson) state on the Dell thread that IBD says a couple major funds were selling Dell, but that news is months old. Question is, will they be buying it back early next year??? John PS - I also saw the post on the 'missing BIOS'. I have to admit I don't understand how that could possibly occur. Since the OS and software are loaded at the factory, that would imply that there is no testing of the PC once it is complete. (That is, unless Dell PC's are so good that they can boot up and run without the BIOS) <ggg>
