THE ABSOLUTE ALL-TIME MOST SINCERELY BUTT-UGLY WORST:
Dell Computer

Yeah ... but add Gateway to the short list. 83 year old Mom: "I have a USB2
port on my 2 year old Gateway, but it won't work with my iPod anymore?".
CustomerServiceoxyMORON: "Sorry lady, you're going to have to buy a new
computer for that to work".

I'm typing on a Dell. I decided some time ago I would never buy
another. It's worked okay for several years until the built-in modem
failed and I gave up and installed an external hardware modem. But
when I tried to add memory I learned that Dell stuff is proprietary;
Kingston, etc won't work.

When tech "support" went to India, that sealed their fate. I called
them one time about the modem... "Sir, you are going to have to
reformat your hard drive."
