Wall Street analysts pegged Dell's first-quarter earnings at 36 cents a share on $13.5 billion in revenue, but computer industry analysts were split over what Dell's forecast signals for the company's prospects.

My comment:

Okay, you could just read the "disappointing" result. It really doesn't concern me much. In fact, the birth of Dell took away the System Intergrators, small business $13.5 Billion every 3 months. That is a LOT of money.

Do you own a Dell Desktop?

Would you buy one?

Intel is selling processors to Dell at a fraction of what we pay. The heavy hands from Dell are getting memory; motherboard; graphic cards; Hard drive; and other components at less than half of what you pay yours.

Oh, you don't want to know how much Dell pays Bill Gates for the O/S.

If you are good in putting a PC together and able to have the same cost, you will be making pretty good money which Dell takes from you ..........
