Who Wants to be the Next Dell?

cybercomm writes "Tom's Hardware has a very interesting column regarding the future of beige-box manufacturers, such as Dell, gateway, Compaq, et all. I found this article really thought provoking, since the author has raised some really interesting issues, especially concerning the fact that the writer of the column compares reviewers to the lowest ring of the ladder, and asks one simple question: Instead of whining, why not do it? Why should you learn all the specs on the latest processor and slam the competition just because you may happen to own a P4? Why not start the same way that the Dell, Apple, Gateway, and other founders took by forming your own store, getting in touch with Asian suppliers who "are more than willing" to give you discounts, just so that they can get their foot in the lucrative N. American and European markets. Very interesting reading, that raises another what-if scenario (what if you succed and your business is based on Chinas' dragon CPU, XGI card, open-source OS...)."

You know how it is? When you don't get enough fibre in your diet. Things get all, well, you know, repressed, which is the nice way of putting it. Then, you have a prune juice, or have a fat friend jump on your stomach, and before you know it, you feel like the fog has lifted, and everything is going to be okay.

Damn it, milk just shot out my nose and now it's gonna feel weird all day.
