Thanks for the insight, Dennis. I do side work for people whose computers get mucked up with Internet debris, etc. By far the majority of them are Dells. In general they seem to work well pretty well.

Their stuff is not reliable and service sucks. Stick with Dell, but don't go as a hoem user, do business. Same price, better service.

Would anyone be kind enough to offer a recommendation or two on what to consider? Dual core? Quad core? Windows XP or Vista? Good/bad brands? Best value, etc.? Best database to use? No wait, I already have that!! I'm probably staying with a desktop unit for now. Maybe a laptop by year end. Off list is fine unless others might be interested in the topic, too. Thanks for any suggestions. Mike Ramsour AK Steel Coshocton Works Quality Department Phone/VMS: 740-829-4340
