Hi Bruce, no, he lives here on the island and drives around on a motorbike servicing all the enterprise computers (plus a couple of notebooks).
Basically, you phone Dell in Athens, they courier you all the parts to your house the next day. Once they arrive, you phone Dimitris and he pops in later and fixes your components. Amazing service, I must say. I've been nursing my laptop for over 4 years now, keeping it happy with more RAM, disk, etc. Once the extended warranty runs out towards the end of this year, I will finally say goodbye to my trusty Latitude D800. BTW, a trick that some people do is buy the laptop with minimum amount of RAM and then purchase the real RAM from http://www.memory.com - a real money saver. Regards Heinz -- Dr Heinz M.
