 About twelve years ago Mike Dell suggested that Apple should just collapse the company and distribute what cash it had. 

Now Dell considers going private himself.

The problem is that is also expensive. One would have to buy off all the sharehodlers and where would that money come from. Twelve years ago Dell could do no wrong. Today he has been leap frogged by the inter dependent proucts of Apple and the shoftware expertise of HP and IBM. As the analyst says, going private would not solve anything. 

The computer business is ever so, Dell was struggling, then it created the we will make it your way model, actually owned by Burger King in my opinion, and now Dell is back in Wal Mart, oh well. Any one ever heard of Wang or DEC?
