Just my 5 cents (american <g>). I don't own stock in Dell, I don't have a brother-in-law who works at Dell, and no other affiliation, that I know of <g>. But I own 5 Dell computers, 2 notebooks and 3 desktops. They are probably not the best but what I like is that when I have a problem I get someone on the phone (even if I have to wait an hour on the phone). I had had 2 Compaqs before and never ever could connect to a human being on the tech support line.

You just described my company but we don't do hardware <g>
