We've seen this script before. The private equity firm forces the company to take out huge loans, which are then paid to the equity firm as consulting and management fees, and bonuses. Dell's largest operating cost becomes servicing the debt, which means everything else gets cut -- product research, product quality, staff, salaries. The market quickly realizes that Dell products have become shit(tier), and customers flee.
Four years later, the equity firm is several hundred million dollars richer, Dell goes bankrupt and is liquidated, and thousands of former Dell employees are out of work.
Where have you seen this before? I am interested in reading more.
My daughter, who has a hearing defect, was prescribed a listening program that only worked on - Windows 95.
She was pretty freaked out by them at the time and, ten years later, she still says she remembers the screams although she can't remember what was on the videos.
Since she can only remember the screams, I am assuming the videos fixed the hearing defect she had?
