New Define "transaction"
Even as I post, Dell still has 7 or 8 "Sierra" class machines, models S76000 and S86000, with the nameplate of "Tandem" on them, handling EVERY order placed from USA and Canada, either via their web site or entered by a salesperson.

Dell: for the past 15 years, running their business on someone else's hardware.

If I'm going to visit an exotic foreign land with L. Ron Hubbard or Jim Jones, I'll opt for the Scientology tour.
