Michael Dell, CEO, Dell Computer, told analysts Thursday that customers' worries over Y2K gltiches could cut into fourth-quarter sales. Dell takes its cue from Apple PC-maker tells analysts it plans ‘iMac-like' computers, more Web sales By Renay San Miguel CNBC NEW YORK, April 8 — In a presentation to computer analysts Thursday, Dell Computer Corp. tried to buff its tarnished image with Wall Street. In February, the PC-maker took a hit when it announced fourth-quarter revenue growth that was slower than in the past. CEO Michael Dell tried to allay those concerns Thursday.

sig...dell cuts prices...grows revenues...grows profits..not in sub 1k... let's all remember moores law...which the financial pundits fail to recall.....dell price cuts not at the expense of profits, but due to economy of scale, superior manufacturing efficiency, and lower component prices for current technology products... as pat hughes stated earlier...i too remember my first "business" computer...a canon with a 10mb hard drive, 8086 processor, mono monitor....was told in the early eighties that this would grow over the years with the business...told the same thing in 1995, when a gateway network system was purchased..486dx2-66mhz server..330meg hd...i do most of my "work" now on a cpq armada 133mhz, 2 year old laptop which has its limitations... the verbose point i try to make is nothing is static...business is a dynamic...productivity is gained thru the use of tech...and dell is a dynamic business...
