If by "shareholder aware" you mean scamming people into holding the stock despite some scary tactics, then Dell is way ahead of MSFT. Microsoft even tells the truth about its silly valuation from time to time. You will never hear that from the Dell touts. By shareholder aware I mean both these companies are intently focused on returning value to their shareholders through stock price appreciation. Plain and simple. Buying back shares at the top, not the bottom, is simply a way Dell and MSFT misuse shareholder money to loot the co. for short term stock gains instead of building book value and asset value. Excuse me, but where have you been for the last 5 years? Perhaps building that bomb shelter waiting for the BK <G>. I certainly hope so. I hate to believe you've been short these stocks, or rolling puts forward for this "short term". Gary
