<<By selling more PCs on line, Dell is able to cut its costs dramatically and therefore make a profit on these machines. Before, a PC maker could build market share and revenue, but not turn a magnificent profit, he said. "You build your top line, but you dilute profitability," he said. Dell actually has been growing units in the consumer market at 80 percent in year to year comparisons, faster than Gateway. Nonetheless, Dell's consumer market share is half of what it is in business PCs. >> IMHO, Montgomery Securities and others are convinced that DELL wants to become a POWERHOUSE in the consumer market. I tend to agree. They have the business model and marketing capabilities to make it happen in a very profitable way. Best Regards, Scott
