What is the skinny ? We need more main stream biz press I tell ya....> Say Cricket I just sent that news about 'Dell indicates E-Commerce Plan' blurb to CNET actually two of them like these two. =============================== DELL INDICATES E-COMMERCE PLANS Washington, DC, Feb. 05, 1999 (The Content Factory via COMTEX) -- Dell Computer's (DELL) success selling custom-designed computers on the Web has whetted its appetite for more e-commerce. A review of recent domain registrations issued by Network Solutions (NSOL) shows Dell has registered "Dellauction.com," perhaps indicating plans to join the online auction sites to clear out its own inventory, and perhaps that of partners. The domain registration was reported by Infonautics Inc.'s (INFO) CompanySleuth.com service. and this article from the Smart Money that Jim posted the other day. smartmoney.com

".... The company is not ready to reveal any sort of Internet-diversification program, but a spokesman allows that there is talk in Round Rock of leveraging Dell's Web presence. "We're definitely thinking about that, but we don't have an announcement at this time," says David Dix, Dell's global Internet public relations manager...."
