Maybe it's time for "Dude" to move on to Compaq, and start selling to dopeheads. :P

| Is this really bad press for Dell?  I'm trying to imagine
| the customer base to which Dell hopes to sell.  Are a lot
| of them really going to be turned off because an actor --
| and I suspect that most of this imagined customer base
| understands this guy is not really a Dell intern -- got hit
| with a misdemeanor charge?
| 
| Meanwhile, Dell has its name plastered over all sorts of
| media.  Free of charge.
| 
| Probably a plant[sic] -- think sophisticated marketing.
| 
| Interesting list -- good to meet you,
| cas
