CBS: A foundation established by Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell and his wife has pledged $36 million for Harvey relief efforts in his hometown of Houston.
The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation said Friday it will donate half the amount to launch the Rebuild Texas Fund with Gov. Greg Abbott, and is running a matching campaign through midnight Monday in which the foundation will match $1 for every $2 donated. The Rebuild Texas Fund aims to raise at least $100 million.
“This disaster is personal to everyone who has roots in Texas,” the Dells said in a statement. “Both of us were born and raised in Texas, and the street Michael grew up on in Houston is under water now.”
Dell Technologies is based in Round Rock, near Austin.
U.S. companies have committed more than $130 million for Harvey relief, led by pledges of $20 million from Walmart (WMT), $10 million from Verizon (VZ) and dozens of $1 million promises.
Yep, my branch of the company was sold like bitches last year for five billion cash.
They are shifting to totally digital cloud computing with a minor emphasis on hardware with a focus on the medical/medicaid/insurance industry.
I look to see them stumble and fall.
Good job michael. Do u think tho that u could up and hire native english speaking tech support staff? It is #*×!ing impossible to work thru computer tech problems by phone w (dot) Indian staff. Drives me nuts

The actual giving is what counts, all the rest is speculative bullsheet!
Great donation but going to the black hole of money that is the Red Cross.
