Article Abstract:
Austin-based Dell Computer Corp., the only company showing a profit on PCs, says its fiscal third-quarter forecasts will be just what it expected. In spite of a drop in sales immediately after the September 11th attacks, Dell's financial figures are almost what they were before the attacks. Contributing was the chairman's buyback of almost $72 million of his company's shares. Also, Dell shipped 35,000 computers to customers the week after the attack, customers directly affected by the events of September 11th.

Medica was instrumental in developing the easy-to-use home PC, bundled with online services. Dell also worked with Microsoft to streamline Windows so that the consumer can be on the Internet within 10 minutes of unpacking the box.
