Hi Carol and Cindy. ... I too swore I would never buy a Dell.. but the Gateways. were so much more money.. And I didnt' buy "cheap". I spent over 2000.00 .. after rebates it'll be about 1987.00.. but even still, its not a cheapie machine..
I didnt' want an HP.. so I was limited.. and my ex.. had just bought a Dell and was happy with his machine. So, here I sit.. wating 'rather impatiently now'.. LOL.. For Dell techs to come and install a new hard drive.. Maybe THEN, I"ll be in good to go.. I just had to call Earthlink, about something.. and told the guy there, part of the problem- with that as soon as I got on the net.. I had the wor*.. and he said,, Almost everyone.. who's gotten new computers.. with XP.. has called that they've gotten it too.He said, 95% of the tech calls in the last few weeks. have been because of this dreaded wor*.. So, at least I''m not "alone".. but that doesnt make it better. LOL Thanks Cindy.. I wasnt about to "give in".. THEY offered.. I didnt' ask for the tech to come out. I was going to install the SR Cds.. and that was going to be it.. But. when they offered me the tech. I said, great.. . and then - they had the NERVE to say,, NO.. Well, that wasn't going to happen.. Not to me... I dont' deal well with NO'!!!! So, now - I'm getting a tech coming out. and a new hard drive.. And hopefully, this computer will be up and running - to perfection<smile>.. It had better. So, the saga continues.. Have a great weekend.
