Dell Computers http//www.dell.com

• Although two-thirds of Dells sales of PCs are to
  business customers, government agencies,
  educational institutions, and consumers in the
  United States, the company also serves medium and
  small business home-PC users. Forty-three
  percent of Dells sales are Web-enabled. Forty
  percent of Dells technical support activities,
  and fifty percent of Dells order status
  transactions occur online.

Dell Computers Stock Evaluation

• Dells stock has done quite well over the past
  year. The 52-week high was 59.69, and the
  current price is 53.38. The 52-week low was
  31.38. I would definitely suggest buying stock
  in this company, however, I would advise someone
  to wait for the price to drop again before making
  a purchase.

Dresselhaus Computer Products http//www.dresselha
us.com

• Dresselhaus Computer Products focuses on
  designing, manufacturing, and supporting quality
  printer accessories. Its first product was
  Dots-Perfect, an upgrade kit that improved
  print quality for older Epson printers. Other
  products that the company has produced are
  Longprint, which allows remote placement of a
  parallel printer up to one thousand feet away,
  and the Line Sharing Connection, which prevents
  interruptions on a shared phone line.

Dresselhaus Computer Products Newest Product

• The latest product introduced by Dresselhaus
  Computer Products is the SmartPrint Printer
  Sharing Network, which allows up to six computers
  to share one printer.

Hewlett Packard Stock Evaluation

• Hewlett Packard's stock has been quite
  unpredictable over the past year. It hit a high
  of 155.5 and a low of 65.13. The current price
  is 134.5, and I would suggest purchasing stock in
  this company when the price drops a bit.

Digicom Systems, Inc.http//www.digicomsys.com/in
dex.html

• Digicom was founded in May 1987, and develops,
  manufactures, markets, and supports an extensive
  line of high-speed communications products.
  Among its distinctions, the company was one of
  the first in the United States to bring a
  production V.32 full duplex modem to market, was
  the first company in the U.S. to produce modems
  with fallback capability to connect at 2400 and
  1200 baud, and was the first to offer
  send/receive fax capability in high-speed modems.

Digicom Systems, Inc. Newest Product

• Digicoms newest product is the Modem Blaster
  V.90, which allows the user to add data, fax, and
  voice-mail capabilities to Windows-based computer
  systems.

3Coms Stock Evaluation

• 3Com Stock has been somewhat unstable over the
  course of the year. The current price of 52.94
  falls between the 52-week low of 20.25 and the
  52-week high of 119.75. Now is a good time to
  invest in this stock because the price is
  relatively low, and if it rises like it did last
  year, a person could more than double their
  investment.
