Frank, there are 3 splits during the past 12 months! that is incredible. I do not expect that Dell will have 7 splits in the next 7 years. Mathematically does not compute. Do you know the story about chess? The King was so delighted that he told the chess inventor that he can have anything for a reward. Just name it. The chess inventor replied that the King cannot supply what he wants. The King was angry since he was a powerful man. What was the request? There are 64 squares on a chess board. (8X8). On the first square, place 1 grain of rice. On the second square 2 grains of rice, on the third 4 grains, then 8 grains etc: 1,2,4,8,16,... There is not enough rice in the country to fill the board. __________ Dell will remain one the best investment forward. There are different ways to be rewarded like a spinoff Gigabuys. You here it here second. Mohan Marette was the first to bring up the possibility. Best to you. Paul

<<Great past performance, Now the question is what will 1000 shares purchased tomorrow be worth over the next 7 years???? ANY PREDICTIONS???>> I cannot accurately predict the future. If I could I might be living on an island in the south pacific <ggg>. Seriously, I expect DELL to continue to be a premiere tech company to invest in. The next 7 years IMHO should bring us atleast 3 more splits and DELL could easily rival MSFT, CSCO, or INTC in market value. It is possible for a 1000 shares of DELL today (before the split) to turn into over $1 million in the next 7-8 years. DELL is a more mature company than they were in the mid 90s but it has A LOT of growth ahead of it. With DELL's strong management, their careful movement into new high margin markets, and their outstanding ability to leverage the internet.....great things could happen going forward. I predict that once DELL is the size of GE or IBM it still will grow sales and earnings faster and generate a better total return for LONG TERM investors. We cannot take DELL's success for granted. Yet, I have tremendous faith in Michael Dell and his team. IMHO, they will continue to exceed many of the very high expectations that the marketplace has for DELL. Regards, Scott
