Dr. Doktor,
Hi!!!

RE: All
Just bought a Dell Notebook. The salesperson told me that they have had a very busy quarter and that they really ramped up production to get as many machines as possible out before the end of the quarter. I ordered mine on 4/29 and it was delivered the next day 4/30. They originally quoted over a week to get the machine built and shipped.
Hopefully they will beat the analyst's numbers. Any thoughts?

:o) YEP

Best, Kemble

This quick delivery must have been due to a cancelled order, or something. For you to receive it the next day, it would have been built a couple of days earlier to allow for testing etc. That said, exceeding expectations is a Dell trademark!

I too hope that your experience is repeated with the earnings.

Often, when companies are panicking to ship product at the end of the quarter, it's because they're trying to do whatever they can to MEET expectations, rather than exceed them... personally, I'd take it as a bad sign, if a sign at all.... eom
