That M. Dell did some smart things before, doesn't mean he will be always outsmart others. Get real. One miscalculation of him is that he total ignored the sub-$1000 pc market, so he missed the boat. This contributed directly to Dell missed 4Q revenue. Until last Oct. he thought the pc component price would be stable and recover. The truth is they are dropping like a rock, and still are until now. And now Dell wants to go in on-line retail, which is even more stupid move, IMO. Dell may suck in some consumers who do not do comparative shopping, but not many. Hey, BTW, don't bother to post me back. I don't want to waste my time with a person like you.
