Please tell me how Dell distributes anything from IBM or pays any royalties to IBM.

"Let me know when Apple surpasses IBM."

Since IBM's PC business was bought out by the Chinese, Lenovo, it really doesn't exist anymore as an independent corporate entity.

Let me know when Apple surpasses IBM.

Last Tuesday, with the Core Duo announcement.

Huh? Dell buys hardware from vendors and makes a PC, very few if any come from IBM.

Apple buys hardware from vendors and makes a PC, very few if any come from IBM (now that they are going intel)

How is this different?

The bigger point is that a Company that the founder of dell wrote of in the 90's and said 'they should close thier doors' is now as successful as his own.

Actually, Apple, at least last year, had far more involvement with IBM. Dell has little or nothing to do with IBM.
