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.

Search the web, or the Tucows site, for a freeware program called "About
Time". Load it, configure to run in backgrund, you'll never again have a
clock problem, i'll check the atomic clocks at NIST , NASA and the Naval
Observatory for correct time and reet your box's internal clock whenever you
start the box or at intervals you set. Accurate to milleseconds but not
nanoseconds. Doubt you need nanosecond accuracy.
