More jobs to go

PC MAKER DELL aims to cut more than the 8,800 already set to be axed, CEO Michael Dell told analysts yesterday.

The firm aims to save at least $3 billion in costs per year and the plan means more heads will roll.

"We're decreasing our head count," Dell said. "It's declined in the past two quarters and it will decline again in the first quarter. And we will go past the 8,800 target previously discussed as we achieve everything that I'm outlining today."
