By MEGAN MCSWAIN AND MATT KNEPPER | January 10WINSTON-SALEM, Oct. 6 - With the rhythmic thumps of the Winston-Salem State University drum line in the background, the city hosted Michael Dell, founder of Dell Inc., for the grand opening of the company's third and largest domestic manufacturing plant. "Dell is the only leading computer company in the United States that actually makes computers in the United States," Dell said at the opening. Bringing the plant to the state was not a quick process, so both company representatives and state leaders were ecstatic about the grand opening.
