Inside Dell's manufacturing mecca
You must realize that Dell is so big that when you finished eating a cookie [comparison with food always work, eh ;-)], they have had at least 10 new PCs ready to be sold.
This is indeed a very cool report. A must read for techies.

ROUND ROCK, Texas--Two thousand, three hundred fifty.
That's the number of desktops Dell was trying to produce per hour in the Mort Topfer Manufacturing Center here earlier this month. Put another way, that's roughly 1 PC every 1.5 seconds, 40 a minute, or 23,500 per shift.
