Musicmatch download service, not Dell

The San Francisco Chronicle has an interesting piece about the launch of the Musicmatch music download service, which is one of many that targets Microsoft Windows users. It includes a paragraph that says: "Last week, Dell Computer Inc said it was working on its own downloadable music service. That fueled industry speculation that Dell was somehow involved in Musicmatch's new service. But Musicmatch said Dell is not involved in the project."

Trivia point: Dell Computer Corp (not Inc) changed its name to Dell Inc at its annual meeting in Austin, Texas, in July. Not so trivial point: This was part of sending out a message that could be paraphrased as: "Hey, Dude, you'll soon be getting a lot of things that aren't computers."
