DELL already has an arrangement with EXCITE as part of Connect Direct. Wonder what bearing this may have on DELL? Thoughts welcome.

ed: <i think the risk is to the account of ibm> Although I basically agree with you, I am mainly trying to point out that IBM IS NOT OUT OF TRICKS YET. From the tone and content of your post, we very much agree. However, I believe IBM will give Dell many many many many tests in the future. The Gerstner TEAM at the very top, is something any company would do well to have. All this 5er stuff---you know what I'm saying. As you know about me, I never want to be complacent. '''''And as you also know about closing large enterprise contracts, IBM can afford to focus, and has a large following to build on. It is (as I am sure you agree) ALL ABOUT LEADERSHIP. AND GERSTNER is way above what is happening at cpq.
