Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intellect of the American public.

No Larry, it's what the Fortune 500 is buying that counts. Do you understand the the multi-dimensional customer requirements of a business installing thousands of PC's vs. a consumer buying 1 PC? The differences are mind boggling. Do you understand the term "inter-generational platform stability" and how it affects customer loyalty? Were talking about Dell here. Consumer's are an incremental target at this time and there is still a whole lot of corporate accounts for Dell to go after... and CPQ's missteps just made the upside potential that much easier to realize. Larry, please do us all a favor and read Michael Dell's book. Even if your comprehension and retention rate is only about 10%, you'll have half a clue as to why $399 PC's and internet gadgets are not a threat to Dell's highly advantaged business model. MEATHEAD
