To "Tony P.". Sure - i can and i will if you really want me to. however - i honestly think that it would be an insult to your intelligence for me to simply REPEAT everything that i have ALREADY said about this company - and (BTW) the Chinese government - via my many prior posts on this subject right here on this message board just a few weeks ago. i invite you to - please - go back and read - REread - all of my prior posts regarding this company/Chinese government (to me - they are the same thing) and then if you STILL have any questions i will - of course - be most willing to try to answer them for you. i honestly believe, however, that once you have REALLY looked at - with an "open" (UNbiased) mind - all of my prior posts pertaining to this company/Chinese government "connection" that ALL of your questions will be completely answered. you may not - of course - LIKE the answers but your questions will, nevertheless, be answered. Oh yeah (BTW) - in view of the recent "events" (stealing of our MOST VALUABLE (important) nuclear/rocketry secrets) which have just "come to light" within the last week or so between China and the United States - events (BTW) which now seem to have been going on for DECADES - these "events" only serve to very dramatically UNDRESCORE and accentuate what i have been trying to say in my prior posts about CAOL and the Chinese government. HAY (FWIW) - i would, personally, NOT "touch" this company (for a lot of moral as well as business reasons) with a ten-THOUSAND (10,000) foot "pole"!! believe me - i truly do hope and wish (pray) - for the sake of all of you CAOL shareholders and for the sake of the NATIONAL SECURITY of the United States of America - that i am proven to be totally wrong about how i feel about - and what i believe about - this company and the Chinese government. however - i honestly believe that i am (UNfortunately) NOT going to be able to be proven to be wrong!! take care, my friend.

RE-POST #1: Dell enters China in Summer 1998; expects tripling of sales by 2002 To: +Dave Gore (124 ) From: +Mike Perras Sunday, May 9 1999 1:30PM ET Reply # of 389 Re Dell in China: ROUND ROCK, TEXAS, Aug. 20, 1998 -- Dell Computer Corporation (Nasdaq:DELL), the world's leading direct computer systems company, announced today it will begin direct sales and technical-support operations in nine metropolitan areas of China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Xiamen. "China is an important market for Dell, now and in the future. By going direct, we're giving Chinese customers a new and simpler way to buy computers directly from a company that designs and builds relevant, leading-edge systems," said John Legere, president, Dell Asia-Pacific. Dell also said it is beginning direct sales in China through its Internet on-line store in both English and Chinese. Dell expects the computer-systems market in China to grow strongly, pushed by relatively low current penetration, continued investments by global multinational companies and prospects for long-term economic progress. According to industry analysts, sales of systems in China will more than triple by the year 2002, to 10.6 million units annually, making it the largest market and one of the fastest growing in Asia-Pacific. IDC forecasts a compound annual growth rate of nearly 30 percent over the next five years. Dell will provide service to the Chinese market through its new integrated sales and manufacturing facility and customer call center in the southern coastal city of Xiamen in Fujian Province. Modeled on Dell's successful Asia-Pacific Customer Center in Penang, Malaysia, the 135,000 square-foot China Customer Center has already begun operations and will initially employ 200 people. The center manufactures systems and provides sales, service and technical support for customers in the Chinese market. Dell's Asia-Pacific operations, with headquarters in Hong Kong, currently covers markets such as Australia, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand. Dell opened its 238,000 square-foot Asia/Pacific manufacturing facility in Penang in January 1996.
