“Dude, you’re gettin’ a Dell!” A slogan we have all heard from those classic Dell commercials where a young man talks people into getting a Dell Computer. We have all heard of the computer company, Dell, but not everyone knows how it got started. ... Michael Dell says that his parents are the ones who got him interested in business. ... When he was in second grade, Dell started his own business selling candy to his friends. ... In high school he bought himself an Apple II computer, which was the most popular personal computer at that time. He took his computer apart so he could get an idea of what was in it and how it worked. ... When Dell was 16 years old, he had a summer job doing phone sales at the Houston Post. ... It did not take long for Dell to figure out that mostly newlyweds and people who had just moved to the area were most likely to buy a subscription to the newspaper. ... He arrived at the University of Texas, to be premed, with a trunk full of computer parts. Since his parents were not around to make him study and do homework, he spent all his time building and selling computers, upgrading computers, and selling computer parts.
