Alas, as a reminder that we were in Cambridge and not Europe or the actual Middle East, our server dutifully asked us for proper age identification upon ordering alcohol...

In the lucrative segment for corporate server computers, Dell has risen to fifth spot with an 11% share, behind Legend, IBM, Compaq and Hewlett-Packard. "Everyone always predicts our failure," says Richard Ward, Dell's vice president of China, "and everywhere we go we keep proving them wrong...
...awry. Taiwan's Acer, for example, was once a well-known computer brand, but the company has faded from prominence and struggled to make a profit despite forays into fields such as semiconductor manufacturing. By entering unfamiliar territory, Legend risks losing focus where it truly matters-PC and server sales contribute 93% of Legend's revenues.
