Dell's "spokesdude," the young man who pitches PCs on TV, is evidently getting some kind of following. "Steven" has stirred up enough interest to get his own Web site. "Steven's Site" has his software and peripherals picks, tells you what kind of notebook he uses, shows his latest commercial and has some info on the actor who plays him, 21-year-old Benjamin Curtis. Poor Clara Peller never got her own Web site -- remember her? (Hint: "Where's the beef?")
