Yabbut ... Dell doesn't use standard parts. They use their own proprietary parts which cost the earth to replace. I discovered this when an acquaintance asked me to replace the power supply in his Dell. Only a proprietary component would work, and it had to be ordered from Dell at an insane markup over off-the-shelf power supplies. I would never buy a Dell. -- Karen Lofstrom _______________________________________________ LUAU@lists.freesoftwarehawaii.org mailing list http://lists.freesoftwarehawaii.org/listinfo.cgi/luau-freesoftwarehawaii.org
