I know there are many people on this group who are knowledgeable
about computers, hence the question.


Got a flyer from Dell Computers a while ago offering what seemed
like a good
deal on a new PC. SWMBO decided we needed one.


Four phone calls, two e-mails & several visits to their web site
later I still can't seem to buy it at the price on the flyer.


A quick Google search reveals loads of bad news about their service.


Am I better off leaving them well alone?


If you're talking about a desktop why not build one? You'll save some
money,


Any saving that you might make on the parts disappears once you have
to add in the much higher cost of buying a single copy of Windoz
(even the system builder version).

Or were you expecting Dave to fight with Linux.


I have no intention of fighting with a character in a Peanuts cartoon...
especially one who is Charlie Browns best friend.
