Subject: Re: Dell now has 40% of sales via the internet-M Date:

Someone posted this on the Fool thread based on this article.Of course I can not vouch for the veracity of any of this until I hear from the company officially.
===================
Michael Dell:-

.....Our biggest day on-line was the day after Thanksgiving. These sales come in 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. More and more consumers are figuring out there is a real convenience factor buying on the Internet. About 40 percent of our sales are on-line now. We're doing this in 35 countries......

40% x $18,000,000,000 / 365 = $19,726,027 per day.

or

40% x $5,400,000,000 / (365/4) = $23,671,232 per day

First calculation has 40% annual run rate. Second calculation is a closer approximation of now has 40% of sales. Based on current sales volume and not average of 4 qtrs. Take your pick.

Catcher Hi!.....Make that $12 Million a day in online sales.....

I refer you to Kembles Post #95761.

When I read that Post I rushed out to my car to get the two copies of
IBD that had the Mikey interview in them.

Sure enough in the second interview he says that online sales are now at $12 Million a day.

How I ever missed that I don't know!

Best.....Jean
