Michael: Where may I ask DELL lost market share? Could you care to back that up with any kind of data from any credible sources??? '..When I said that Dell lost market share and you said it was seasonal, and therefore not important, you were just angry and shooting off the cuff...'

Mickey Still can't back up your claims We call that proof by blatant assertion. You assert that I cannot back up my claims, therefore your construction is proven. Pretty nifty! You also try to rephrase what I said to support your fictions. You claim When I said that Dell lost market share and you said it was seasonal, and therefore not important .... You have begged the question. You know that the assertion is a lie. You know that I never said that Dell lost market share. I said Dell had gained market share. I said that seasonal factors obscure what is actually occuring, and for that reason sequential quarterly data are meaningless. I pointed out that what is required is y/y data. You know this, the thread knows this, and I suspect that even your supporters know this. You are being dishonest. Well, the evidence I gave in support of my claims was sufficiently strong to convince Jock Huthinson last night. Jock, like you, believed that Dell was losing market share. But unlike you, Jock has an open mind. So when he looked at the evidence he agreed that there was nothing unusual about this quarter. exchange2000.com There seems to be only two possible reasons why you would continue on in this vein. Either you didn't understand the implications of the evidence you have been presented, or you chose not to understand. Initially I thought it the former, but it quickly became clear to me that the latter explanation is true. Perhaps flim-flam goes over well with your adoring throngs on the Ask Michael Burke thread (talk about hubris!), but most people around here are a little too sophisticated to fall for appeal to false authority types of arguments. You are correct when you say Hey, lots of us say unsubstantiated nonsense when we are angry and haven't done our homework. Absolutely correct. I assume that you are using the royal we. CTC
