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.

Even though it seems randome, it's probably not. Generally it opens
when you bring a drink to the desk. And btw, in Apple they may call
it a CD drawer, but Dell calls it a cup holder.

She's paid four different computer experts to work on on the computer.

Did anyone replace the cup holder?
