TO ALL:H-E-B Selects Dell as PC Provider ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 1999--Dell Computer Corporation (Nasdaq:DELL) announced today that H-E-B, one of the largest family-owned grocery chains in the United States, has selected Dell as its standard for personal computing systems, including desktops, notebooks, servers and workstations. H-E-B, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, estimates it will purchase approximately $30 million worth of systems under the agreement over the next three years. The demands of networking a growing international company, as well as lowering the company's total cost of ownership, were key elements in H-E-B's decision to standardize on Dell's PowerEdge(R) servers, OptiPlex(R) desktops, Dell Precision(tm) WorkStations and Latitude(R) notebook computers. "H-E-B's alliance with Dell is part of our plan to reduce our operating costs and optimize our information technology efforts by going direct," said Michael De La Garza, vice president of public affairs for H-E-B. H-E-B is the 12th-largest food retailer in the United States, with 45,000 employees and nearly $7 billion in annual sales. H-E-B operates 245 stores in Texas, Louisiana and Mexico. "Dell's mass customization capability and online resources will enable H-E-B to achieve its goals of single sourcing its computing needs, while helping save both time and money through the use of Dell Internet-based Premier Pages," said Joe Marengi, senior vice president and general manager of Dell's Relationship Group. Premier Pages(sm) are customized, password-protected extranet sites that Dell creates for its corporate and public-sector customers. Premier Pages provide one-stop access to simplified purchasing, purchase history reporting, order status and help desk support. More than 8,500-customer-specific Premier Pages currently are hosted through Dell's Web site at www.dell.com. Dell also offers its largest customers a paperless purchase order system that is an extension of Dell's continued focus on improving the overall customer experience through direct engagement. Dell is the world's leading direct computer systems company and an industry leader in Internet commerce. H-E-B is one of several large enterprises to contract with Dell in recent months. Last month, Mobil Corporation signed a worldwide agreement with Dell worth an estimated $75 million. In October, Sara Lee and FTD(R) announced multi-million dollar, long-term alliances with Dell. Dell's growing ranks of Enterprise customers have secured a leadership position for the company in the U.S. corporate marketplace. ZD Market Intelligence recently reported that Dell became the leading PC provider to U. S. businesses with more than 500 employees during the third quarter of last year. REGARDS - Lancer

On the QT: Your interest in Dell's insider selling is understandable. You can make a difference in the investing community by stepping up on the plate and bat for share owners. The share owner proposal below for LU may give you a framework to think about stock options in growth companies you already own or may want to own in the future. If you are willing to present a proposal at the annual meeting, and if you wish to have the proposal included in the Company's proxy statement, you must deliver the proposal to the Corporate Secretary of Dell. Best regards, Beni Mick Mormony® ------ LUCENT NOTICE OF 1999 ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT SHAREOWNER PROPOSAL NUMBER 2 Mr. Robert D. Morse, with an address of 212 Highland Avenue, Moorestown, NJ 08057, beneficial owner of 1,314 Common Shares, has proposed the adoption of the following resolution and has furnished the following statement in support of his proposal: I propose that the Officers and Directors consider the discontinuance of all bonuses immediately, and options, rights, SAR's, etc. after termination of any existing programs for top management. This does not include any programs for employees. REASONS: Management and Directors are compensated enough to buy on open market, just as you and I, if they are motivated. Management is already well paid with base pay, life insurance, retirement plans, paid vacations, free use of vehicles, etc. Options, rights, SAR's, etc. are available elsewhere, and a higher offer would induce transfers, not necessarily "hold and retain" qualified persons. Comparison with "peer groups," [other similar companies] pay is unfair, as other management could be better or worse. Would they also accept mistakes of others? "Align management with shareowners" is a repeated ploy or "line" to lull us as to continually increasing their take of our assets. Do we get any purchase options at previous rates? Please vote YES for this proposal. If officers filled out a daily work sheet, what would the output show?
