RE: Dell now using the IBM iSeries pricing model

I can confirm this.  You have to check both the small biz and home sections
to get the best price.  Look for the deal that includes free shipping ($99).

Subject: Dell now using the IBM iSeries pricing model

This was in Cringely's column today - it gave me chuckle to see that IBM
aren't the only ones.

Selling the Dell Way: Reader Mark C. was shopping for a memory upgrade
for a Dell OptiPlex when he discovered something curious: Dell.com was
charging different prices for identical products. Depending on the link
he followed, the 256MB SIMM cost either $88 (Small Business), $99 (Home
& Home Office), or $110 (Medium & Large Business). A Dell spokesmaven
says that's just the way they do things: Each segment sets its own
pricing, and consumers are free to pick the one that's cheapest.
