Jim: IMO, you may be right about enhancing top management even more at DELL in order to optimize sales and earnings growth. Here are a few interesting comments from a Prudential Report issued on 5/24/99:

<<**We maintain that the key to the company's valuation will be DELL's continued ability to drive top - and bottom-line growth at or greater than projected levels (40% in 99).

**We continue to believe that DELL is best positioned in the PC Group.

**While there was a lot of focus recently on margins this quarter, we would note 3 things...

1) With the demand environment in Q2 improving, we believe that price pressures are moderating relative to Q1 levels.

2) We believe opex scale achieved in Q1 is not only sustainable but can be improved further.

3) We expect continued strength of DELL's enterprise business unit that will offset pricing actions across other market segments.

Re-iterate Strong Buy Rating.>>

Best Regards,

Scott

Jim,

I don't think that Dell management team is not as focused or stretched as so many people believe. Two so-so quarters in a row is not DELL style. I still believe that Dell has the third best management team behind Softie and CSCO.
The PC market is indeed not as it used to be. Dell still is the best within its group and has the best business model. The problem, just as I pointed out 6 months ago, Dell is great, but in the wrong sector.
