I have to jump in here with my four quids worth - a quid in the UK is a pound in case no one knows, apparently �183 on the US$. Product information may differ where you are, but I thought in the US you guys had it all. What is to say that Toshiba or HP or any other PC is any better, I feel sure you might find otherwise were a search to be made. I purchased a Dell Dimension 8400 a powerful machine by all accounts. From what I understand its only software that will understand in a Dell, and as time goes by I believe that to be true. Dell walked on water when my Maxtor HD failed within a couple of weeks of supply and when their technician installed only the software I wanted, full versions and all that, I cannot complain with its performance. I do believe its what we do with our PCs that cause a problem, that's why Dell gives support for free, because they know its a software issue, for which advice they charge. Its true that people will accents are often hard to understand when we are stressed out and want people to understand our problem; isn't it possible they don't understand what we are saying also with all the dialects of spoken English around the world.
When we purchase anything, its a case of caveat emptor, buyer beware, in other words, if you don't research what you are buying sufficiently well, you only have yourself to blame, as I will should my PC fail again. The remedy therefore is to get it put right. And I do have a 3 year support warranty, but I don't think its going to be necessary when its a software failure problem of my own making.
