Please don't blast me for asking this question here. I have posted here
before and received excellent advice, so I am back.

I am in the market for a new computer. I am interested in Dell. When
searching the Dell sites, I see lots of complaints about service, etc.

Do any of you use a Dell computer, and can anyone recommend a model
for someone who uses the computer basically for email, newsgroups,
searching the web, playing solitaire, and making greeting cards?

I am totally lost, and as you can see, I am not too computer savvy.
I just know the basics, and my computer man, in this small town,
just retired due to ill health.

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

My wife bought a Dell several years ago.
The "clock" has never kept correct time.
The CD drawer opens and closes randomly.
She's paid four different computer experts to work on on the computer.

Dimension 4300? Mine can't find the CD most of the time, and I got a
fix from Dell but it doesn't stay fixed. It sees my external HD
instead. Don't use the CD much, so it doesn't matter. I have to reboot
to get the clock running on time - was late for quite a few things
before I trained myself to look at my wris****ch instead of Windows time )
