It's nice to dream. I've been waiting for the Japanese to offer an
alternative to dating and marriage in the form of a devoted and stacked
female android for at least twenty years. According to the news they are
getting closer. Cherry 2000 where are you? With my luck I'd end up with
"Stella" an android version of Harry Mudd's shrew of a wife from an episode
of the original "Star Trek" series.
Way off topic but it's good to lighten things up from time to time.

It's sad that we hit and exceeded most of our stated objectives, but the
press latches onto one 'miss'. One metric (I forget which one) was
missed by 300k - only 2% of the projection - and the stock tumbles. Such
is life in our growth-driven (and bubble-burst-inducing) economy. From
what I understand, there has been too much emphasis on the extremely
inexpensive computers that have basically no profit on the front end.
I'm happy to be a part of the organization that is growing by leaps and
bounds (enterprise storage). I also think they took a hit by offering
that HD display so low, but it did us wonders in market share.
Now if they would only come out with a home theater computer integrated
into a 60"+ LCD for <$5000...

Jason,
Let me first say I love Dell as a great company and a proven money
maker,
and I've owned six or seven of your computers. But I love that trick
you
mentioned. That is good (for Dell) creative accounting. Many mfgs use
it
as it doesn't count against earnings, low inventory. And if sales slow
down, the trucks just stack up in the parking lot. In their latest
earnings
comments Dell stated that they had given up too much in discounts and
rebates.

Dell doesn't really "make" anything...they buy 'best of breed' and offer
it in their own special way. In this case, we buy the panels from
Samsung, the video processor from PixelWorks, and put it in our shell
and warranty it. It's a good arrangement since Dell is the undisputed
king of manufacturing and Samsung has a very highly regarded panel. This
allows us to make a top notch product and sell it cheaper than most
others. One trick Dell uses in manufacturing is to not count goods
received from suppliers until they come off the truck. The catch is,
they leave the truck in the parking lot until they are ready to build
the system. From that point, it's only an average of seven hours in the
building before it goes out to the customer.
About the used parts in new systems, I don't believe that is correct. If
you buy a new system and a part fails, they may send refurb parts to fix
it; but I don't think they put used parts in new systems they are
building. If you have a link to the dell.com page that says that, I'd be
interested in seeing it. Since I'm not in that side of the business, I
won't say I know for sure, but I haven't heard that before.

So Dell manufactures for Samsung? That's the way your statement reads.
Just curious.

It's a Samsung panel, manufactured by Dell.

interesting to see that Dell beat Sony handily in consumer tests. Anyone
know if this was a good apples to apples comparison? I'm not a huge fan
of the 1024x768 pixel situation, and not sure if Sony's is that way (I
know the Dell is).

The Sony 37" is discontinued with last shipments to dealers in July as
of
now Sony has exited the plasma business. They owned no manufacturing
facilities for the raw glass and they were not making the margins they
wanted to at their end. They invested heavily in a joint LCD panel
facility
with Samsung, and now they are supporting LCD direct view.
Texas Instruments is the company getting fat on DLP.
Cheers,
Joe Hart

I think it's great that we have at least one representative from a major
electronic retailer on board. Now what's the real mark up on those
"1080P"
displays?

Steve,
The Panasonic TH37PX50U and Sony KDE37XS955 are current 37" HD plasmas.
They
present an alternative to the 42" ED at a similar price point.

I didn't know anyone made plasma displays smaller than 40"?!?
Pioneer's current line starts at 43", so maybe LCD can claim it wins
the 42" market next.
This press battle is getting silly.
