Shoot out at O.K corral -Somebody is running scared,it ain't Dell. Ed a: Look who is shaking in their pants????? Clue:-It ain't Dell.<g> ======================== (Courtsey:AustinAmerican) U.K. battle between Dell, Compaq heats up By Jerry Mahoney American-Statesman Staff Published: March 26, 1999 The battle between Dell Computer Corp. and Compaq Computer Corp. for No. 1 in the United Kingdom has spilled out of customers' offices and into the street. This week, Compaq's managing director in the United Kingdom publicly accused Dell of using misleading advertising about dealing directly with customers at the same time it is asking Britain's resellers to sell and install Dell PCs. Compaq decided to publicize the differences between the two companies so customers "have the full picture," said a statement from Compaq's Joe McNally. "He's trying to confuse people, or he doesn't understand the model," Brian McBride, Dell's vice president for the United Kingdom and Ireland, said Thursday. McBride denied Dell is asking middlemen to sell its computers, and he said there is nothing new about Dell's agreements with established service providers such as Wang Global to install and maintain them. McBride said Compaq, the No. 1 PC company there, is responding to pressure from No. 2 Dell. "It's my goal to overtake Compaq in the next 12 months." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
