ALL...Food for thought.....What brand Computer does WalMart sell?..... Just this past weekend I was in one of their Supercenters and seen an Acer Computer. This I was told is the only brand they carry. Isn't Acer leaving the PC business? Hmmmmmmmm I'm not suggesting anything, but I do believe DELL did some business with SAM's a few years back which ended because of .......... A few rumors popping up on some other Threads, so thought i'd Post here to see what comments are forthcoming. Get ready, get set, gooooooooooooo.....J.D.

Here's a neat trick: 1. set April '87 quarter to 1; increment by one per quarter 2. plot Dell's revenue through last quarter (log scale probably) 3. plot the best-fit, 6th order polynomial alongside it (I get something like y=-0.00001402x^6 + 0.00196704x^5 - 0.09913355x^4 + 2.22661332x^3 - 21.06150074x^2 + 82.37124749x - 24.01004837). Certainly, this has no analytical validity whatever. But it is very entertaining to take that equation out twelve more quarters. Hee hee, mb
