Kemble, You are right about Michaels modesty. I think Benjamin Zander is closer to the mark when it comes to describing the impact of technology on the future of our world. MORE OF IT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE THAN IN THE PAST. I want to thank you belatedly for your great contribution to my families well being. While I knew a bit about Dell the man and the company, I did not discover Dell the stock until I read the Fortune article that featured your story. I clearly remember one quote from a money manager. "I can see why you might not buy a Dell computer, but I can't see any reason not to buy the stock". If we had taken that advice completely to heart at the time, we would have paid off our mortgage by now. BTW I cannot now see any reason not to buy a Dell computer either. As I have mentioned, an Inspiron 7000 is on my shopping list, unless Dell releases the 8000 before I can talk my wife into it :) Ken BTW, how can I get some of those T shirts? DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) - Top technology industry executives at an international conference Monday discussed competition, regulation and innovation, while evading the question of whether the rally in Internet stocks was justified. ... Michael Dell, head of Dell Computer, said the Web was ''a turbo-charger for our business.'' ''Instead of having to vertically integrate, (companies) can virtually integrate because of the reduction in the cost of transactions and cost of communicating information,'' he said. ... ''It is a completely new, transformational world. So it is not about going up and down. It is about going up and out. It is endlessly proliferating and growing,'' said Benjamin Zander, conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra. He compared the developments in technology to what had happened when printing was developed roughly 500 years ago.
