<DELL is not an internet stock. DELL is a tech firm with an excellent business model. They happen to be using the net to sell a good deal of their product and in doing so, can use just in time delivery for their components. DELL is both a manufacturer and a direct retailer> I agree. I would not classify companies such as AMZN that use net technology as a retailing tool as Internet Companies. They should be classified as retailers. Internet companies are Internet Service providers such as AOL and content providers such as YHOO. A case could also be made for providers of infrastructure such as Cisco.
