stirbird said:"Welcome Back, Roasted Potatoes!" LOL, I always say that to my potatoes when I take them out of the oven.But hey, it makes better sense than anything else that's been suggested!
This thread has been stopped dead in deep confusion by a silly yellow sign. I personally blame the cats in it--they tend to do things like that. Pretty picture, by the way!

There's something about Dell that makes people mad. Maybe it's because it's just so big, or just so Texan. Or maybe Dell really is doing a lot of things wrong. But if so, how did it get to be so successful? Fact is, Dell so far has come to dominate every market segment it's moved into and is at the moment making a good dent in the printer market and the corporate server sector.
There's no debating that Dell generates a lot of complaints -- many more than any comparable computer maker, as a recent ConsumerAffairs.Com survey demonstrated. On the other hand, even though the very laptop on which the survey story was written crashed and burned just a day later, our own James R. Hood concedes in To Dell & Back, his arresting tale of being laptopless for a day, that Dell tech support often gets it right.
In its own defense, Dell concedes that it may have some rough edges and doesn't deny that keeping up with double-digit growth isn't always easy. See Dell Discusses Its Growing Pains. OK, but Dell's who-me? response doesn't answer all the questions about those disappearing rebates, questionable sales tactics and its "surprise" loans.
Our advice: read the complaints, consider the defenders' arguments, then ask yourself how much hand-holding you need. We'd say Dell offers good equipment at a great price but if you never want to open the lid of your computer and have no patience with troubleshooting by phone, then you should probably buy a machine from a local geek-owned computer store. Then, when trouble strikes, you'll have a place to go where, as they say, when you go there, they'll have to take you in.
