Right, although one might conclude that Michael Dell knows more about
running a multi-billion dollar corporation than you do:

Dell posts solid profit
No. 1 PC maker reports results that meet forecasts; sales guidance
bullish; stock gains after-hours.
May 12, 2005: 4:49 PM EDT
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Dell Inc., the world's largest personal
computer maker, said Thursday PC sales in April overcame weakness
earlier in the quarter, fueled by strong growth in European markets and
Japan.
The company's forecast for revenue in the current quarter was equal to
or slightly above the average analyst forecast, and Dell (Research)
stock rallied on the news.
Net income rose to $934 million, or 37 cents a share, in the fiscal
first quarter ended April 29, compared with $731 million, or 28 cents a
share, a year earlier.
Revenue rose 16 percent to $13.39 billion from $11.54 billion.
Analysts believe a heavy promotional push by Dell aimed at consumers and
small businesses helped offset weakness that Dell officials had cited in
February and March.
Wall Street was looking for Dell to report a net profit of 37 cents a
share, up 32 percent from a year earlier, according to Reuters
Estimates. Forecasts ranged between 36 cents and 37 cents, according to
Reuters Estimates.
Analysts were looking for revenue of $13.42 billion on average.
Forecasts were in a tight range between $13.37 billion and $13.50
billion. In April, Dell reaffirmed its prior outlook for $13.4 billion
in revenue and earnings of 37 cents a share.
Dell expects revenue for the fiscal second quarter ending in July to
increase between 16 percent and 18 percent, to a range of $13.6 billion
to $13.8 billion, with earnings of 37 to 39 cents a share, CEO Kevin
Rollins said in a statement.
That profit outlook was in line with current forecasts, but the revenue
projection was equal to or slightly better than the average analyst
forecast.
Shares of Dell, based in Round Rock, Texas, rose 7 cents to close at
$36.61 on Nasdaq. They climbed about 2 percent in after-hours trading.
