yes, that's the best way, and I always advise this when someone
asks me... but in major companies and goverment they always like to have a
"we're the better" company (IBM, HP, Compaq) to blame when things doesn't
work... of course one can solve the problem, but as the machines have
warrantiy seals and one can open them... yes, they like to wait a couple
of weeks till service comes.
don't let it happen in your work!
