>>Sorry, I provided five years of historical data.<<

yeah, after a week or two of asking for the data... ;-)

cpq stuffed the channel in 1997. they did it in 1998. the comparison is NOT meaningless. many circles argue that last year's stuff was worse... don't know that i believe it, but the point is the magnitude was similar.

so, for all the boxes coming out this year, boxes came out last year, too...

How Dell can reach 25% market share in one year (one week), and gain a service organization:

Buy Compaq. (Geez, it'll be in the 40-45 Billion range next week)

Just kidding.

Better yet, sign the deal with IBM (produce IBM's PC's) and THEN buy Compaq...man, what's that, 35% market share (including Dell)?? Wow...

I going a little loco because of Pfeiffer's Friday surprise...I'll be alright after a couple beers tonight...
