FWIW (emphasis mine)--From THE RAGING BULL'S CYBERSTOCK INVESTOR REPORT:

DELL COMPUTER:
Today, Dell books close to $14 million in computer sales over its web site each day and the company had 1.6 million unique visitors to its site in December, 1998. GTE, AOL and AT&T provide the standard Internet connectivity package for Dell users and the computer-maker has yet to hint at plans to roll out its own branded-ISP. Portal site Excite does, however, provide search and personalization capabilities for many of Dell's PCs. Dell's most notable e-commerce/portal deal to date is its online store - called Gigabuys.com - which is set to sell software and peripherals (much like Gateway's SpotShop.com). Dell has also recently registered the domainname 'Dellauction.com', but the company is keeping mum about any future plans to
launch an auction site. Dell officials have, however, suggested that Gigabuys.com may eventually sell PCs from a variety of computer manufacturers.
Clearly, Michael Dell & Co. are taking a somewhat conservative approach to the 'branded ISP, customized portal, and online superstore' model that Gateway is pursuing.

I think that Dell's website selling other brands of computers is like shooting themselves in the foot.
