Sig, Hi!!! RE: Here are some nostalgic posts from yesterday, thats 10 long months ago and 56900 posts ago. EXCELLENT MY FRIEND....and may I add this is one stock that teaches one a history lesson...if you didn't believe it would occur again you got run over....those that have trusted the word of Dell and the info from this thread are one large group of obnoxious investors...but, then it ain't braggin' if you can prove it... :o) ............MICHAEL DELL'S MAGIC........ by Michael A. Verespei "IN 1991 ONLY ABOUT 30% OF THE MARKET WAS AVAILABLE TO US, AND WE HAD MAYBE 3% OF THAT MARKET, says Dell with enthusiasm. "BUT NOW WE ARE IN CHINA, JAPAN, ALL OVER EUROPE, AND WE HAVE INTEGRATED CAPABILITIES AND ALL THESE NEW PRODUCTS (HIGH-END WORKSTATIONS, NOTEBOOK COMPUTERS, AND SERVERS). SO NOW 90% OF THE MARKET BECOMES AVAILABLE, AND WE HAVE ABOUT 9% OF THAT. OUR AVAILABLE MARKET HAS EXPANDED ENORMOUSLY." "THE BEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO US IS THAT OUR COMPETITORS HAVE CONTINUED TO UNDERESTIMATE THE STRENGTH OF THE DIRECT-SELLING MODEL," says, Dell, pointing out how competitors first insisted that the approach wouldn't work, then that it would only work with some customers, and now argue that as they mimic Dell's approach, Dell's growth will slow. Michael Dell smiles. "WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THAT OUR CUSTOMERS SEEM TO LIKE OUR APPROACH, AND WE JUST KEEP GROWING." msd Many have been listening for quite some time now....even Barron's ate crow recently....those that haven't believed previously....learn to trust Dell and the management..1999 will be an exciting year..more will see how smart msd really is... :o) Dell is in diapers.... Best, kemble
