meathead:<but if they become arrogant> I believe they HAVE already. Their overall attitude shows this.
'''''They completely misunderstood who would really come out ahead, in their recent "parts etc." deal with ibm. Dell is not at all ready to overwhelm ANY part of ibm. IBM is still in a different "class of power", and dell can not understand how to BE with this.

My main worry, like sub 1K PCs, late. I wish DELL would of bought Palm Pilot before COMS. I hope DELL does not miss out on the coming home net segment. I see package deals from, home servers, to wireless links, to UltraThin and small desktops. Now is the time. The general public is more computer savvy then ever before, if it's wireless it's plug and play. Tandy is going to start selling Home Nets. DELL has to participate in this. Break out of the mold, design web pages for people to set them up.
