Starting today and through this weekend, we are attending the Better Investing National Convention in Schaumburg, Illinois - one of several conferences from the National Association of Investors Corporation (NAIC) that cater to individual investors.  The conference is set up as a means for individual investors to learn best practices for investing and more about financial planning.  The conference hosts classes, seminars and conversations with investor relations professionals from exhibitors and corporate sponsors.

So why are we there you ask?  Individual investors own roughly 20% of Dell and this is one of many opportunities for us to be involved in direct relationships with you, our current and potential shareholders.  This conference is yet another way to interact with company representatives, educate yourself and become informed and knowledgeable about us and other companies.  We will also be attending other conferences such as the Money Show in Washington DC, November 6-8, 2008 and The World Money Show in Orlando, FL, February 4-7, 2009.  Moreover, we look forward to seeing our stockholders at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders that will take place on July 18^th here in Austin, Texas. 

We'll be at the Renaissance Hotel in Schaumburg, Illinois. Come see us at booth #214 - we hope to see you there.
