Gary- You really need to check your stats.. There is no way in heck that E-machines (or whatever) they are called are 6th in the world..you are telling me that they are selling more machines than Packard/Nec? Give me a break....I would be extremely surprised if they are in the top 15 in the world...not even mentioning the top 10.. Maybe, just maybe, they are 6th in direct selling in the U.S. or in some segment of the market (under 600 dollar machines in the U.S.) or something....But that is much, much different than saying they are 6th in the world... A note to the thread: I have only occasionally kept up with this thread over the past week..but this is the 3rd time IN ONE WEEK (probably less) that someone on the thread has posted totally inaccurate information....again, I haven't checked all the posts nor am I informed on all issues...so it's possible there are many more errors... I know that the "Ask Michael Burke" thread loves to call Dellheads (or really anyone who disagrees with them) morons, idiots, blah, blah, blah...but I think you guys should work on your own quality control here....it is obviously not as great as you guys think.. BTW- I am not disputing that there are good posters here, and I still enjoy the debate, ....
