"I’d shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders"

I laughed out loud when I read my newspaper website this morning.. The article started by what can be translated to "the beleaguered PC maker, Dell"... Oh the irony :D

Dell is going private and are buying back all the shares.. I remembered a quote by a certain Michael Dell in 1997, regarding some company with a fruit as a logo...

That's exactly what he just did with his company! Karma, karma... :P
