First, A Little History

In 1984 Michael Dell, a student at the University of Texas founded the company
"PC's Limited" with a starting capital of $1.000. His vision was to directly serve his
customers with customized personal computers suitable to their needs. The
following year, in 1985 Michael Dell created a computer called Turbo PC that had 8 a
mega hertz processor and had a price of $785. Michael Dell's goal was to mass
produce PC on entirely stock parts.

What made Dell different was the customers' ability to fully customize their
personal computer during the ordering process. In Dell's vision, each computer
should be individually assembled for every customer.

In 1985, Dell had grossed over $73.000.000. It went public in 1988 offering shares
for $7.50 a piece.
