[edit] Jewish?
According to www.israelnewsagency.com/jewisrael194800.html he is Jewish, a lot of Google results come up, with one of the first being his foundation with a lot of Jewish donations, so my guess is he is Jewish, I am adding in that he is, if anyone has any proof he isn't, please show it before changing it.
- After some looking around Wikipedia the List of Jewish American business figures article seems to claim he is Jewish. 220.233.48.200 07:06, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
- I'm an old friend of Michaels; I can confirm he's Jewish.
Sorry, your original research is not appreciated. We here at Wikipedia need reliable evidence like a Times article or a Pokemon trading card, not this hearsay from a nobody. 66.108.249.109 00:03, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Dorm room?
i know the room that michael dell stayed at to start his buisness. it was 3f east side campus it was a fabulous time to see the room it is now part of history!
[edit] Donations
Dell has made tons of donations in Austin area. Can someone add the donations that he has made? Also, he always has his name added to the building that he donates. Like the "Michael Dell Jewish Community Center", etc. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.112.178.64 (talk) 22:57, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] PC's Limited?
I've changed this to PCs Limited, since that's the grammatically correct way to spell it. However, if this is literally what he called it, please change it to "PC's Limited (sic)". splintax (talk) 13:39, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
Ithink it shoule be PC's Limited. Though the apostrophe is technically incorrect, it's a proper name, so all bets are off. Here is a photo of an old PC's Limited keyboard. (This is the keyboard I still use to this day.) As you can see, he put the apostrophe in PC's Limited. BRITTANY MCLANE LOVES FRANKLIN RAMOS ALWAYS AND FOREVER

[edit] Dirty Donations
Has anyone else realized that the only reason he donated to the Bush campaign was because of Bush's support for outsourcing?
[edit] Stepped Down ?
why did Dell step down for the other guy to be the CEO ?
[edit] Dobie Center
Additional references for the name of the dorm where Dell founded his company can be found at Talk:Jester Center. Johntex\talk 16:40, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Children?
Other places on private databases say Dell has only two children. Can we have a Citation on that?

[edit] What is Michael Dell's full name?
Is it Michael Saul Dell or Michael Seth Dell? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.93.68.239 (talk) 01:27, 2 February 2007 (UTC).
- Michael Saul Dell. I found a source and cited it in the article. —midg3t 04:22, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merge Dell's personal comments?
An anonymous user (131.123.228.92) has suggested that Dell's personal comments about Apple should be merged to the main Dell page. I don't personally see why these comments should be merged. I also don't see a discussion or proposal from the user why they should be either. Any objections to removing the proposal? Mrand 13:16, 6 May 2007 (UTC) Dell 501
Probably not, unless it had existed as a big enough feud (eg. more than a couple crossed words over the course of their rivalry) to warrant a mention as the company as a whole. They have been rivals, monstrous CEO's with gigantic billion-dollar companies under them, so it might be interesting only if it was big enough. But unless so, you're probably right.-70.74.122.87 10:36, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Dead Links
Just append to this post if you find any; I just found one when I was interested in checking out the world's richest people.-70.74.122.87 10:32, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Dead Links (post here)
08152007 - footnote number 9 lead to a page that "does not exist" on the website, perhaps it's been moved or there's another website that offers the same information?
