Ed, Lesson learned - "DBD" Don;t buy Dell. while Dell computers may offer good value and function when they are new, my experience is that they will typically last for 3 years and then go "belly up". I will not buy an off-lease Dell computer for this very reason. OTOH, the IBM or Lenovo off-lease computers offer a good value - both laptops and desktops.
