Jess Blackburn Quotations

What he is saying is that $80 billion remains a viable and reachable goal. He's not being as specific as to the timeline.

We're just not going to comment because it is an ongoing court matter.

We're confident that we'll continue to grow globally and at a multiple to the market.

Our strategy in terms of suppliers that we work with is unchanged. This doesn't signal that we are changing that.

We feel good about our ability to continue to grow profitably.

We realize that as we grow our business in India, it'll require a manufacturing facility.

We are confident that we will continue to grow globally at a multiple of the market.

There could be some small level of competition but I don't think there will be much conflict. The two lines complement themselves.

We've never said we wouldn't consider acquisitions; we've said we rely more on organic growth. We're obviously a company that doesn't have a history of doing many acquisitions; if we have this conversation in 10 years, that'll probably still be characteristic of us.

We don't think it represents a significant change in the sense that we'll continue to grow organically.

Apple is validating a product strategy Dell has had for more than 20 years.

As far as their marketing goes, that's marketing. We continue to have a very solid relationship with Intel and nothing has changed in that respect. We probably are their largest customer; we shipped 10 million systems in the fourth quarter. I don't think any supplier is going to ignore a customer that is building that many systems and using that many of their parts in them.

You're close to your suppliers, and you've got a very capable available work force. It all enhances the efficiency of a global business.

They serve a particular part of the market that . . . we can reach as well. But if you look at the two products, they're not the same products. We can both exist well serving that space.

It's a very small percentage of our overall workforce that was impacted.
