Almost fifteen years later, and that snarky statement is still the first thing I think of when someone mentions Michael Dell: http://news.cnet.com/Dell-Apple-should-close-shop/2100-1001_...

Can't imagine how awkward a meeting between Jobs and Dell would be--at least for Dell.

I think both would have a good laugh. Dell was wrong, Jobs not only saved Apple but turned it into one of the largest companies in the planet.

Being slightly wrong is boring. Being so completely wrong is fun.

That was fun to read the article AND the comments over last 14 years.
