I still find it ironic that Mr. Dell told Apple to sell itself and give the money back to the shareholders back in 1997 and 15 years later Dell sells itself and gives the money back to its shareholders. Will it make a difference? I guess we will see.
- theandrewbailey 12y agoAlmost everything you said is incorrect. Mr. Dell said Apple should close, not sell, and Dell didn't sell itself. It bought itself, and is still in business.

- mikestew 12y agoIt's easy to mock Dell's comment about AAPL now, but in 1997 what Mr. Dell said wasn't a bad idea. And if what you said about Dell the company were actually true, just because Michael was wrong (against strong odds of being right) once doesn't mean it wouldn't be a good idea for his own company now. But as another commenter pointed out, you're wrong about what actually happened with Dell recently.
