My brother bought a XPS laptop that came with Vista - was a dud and he hated
it within 4 hours of getting it. The OS (and no other apps running) was
using 95% of system resources!
He called Dell and they sent him an XP license for free, no hassles. Seems
like even they know they have a flop OS

YES!

I have had no problem aligning glove box lids on 123's, it is a matter of
understanding the design. I found two small screwdrivers and a larger one
work wonders for those weird nuts.

Just about every workshop (including MB) uses high pressure cleaners to
clean the cars prior to working on them. However any damage they do will be
passed onto the customer.
Ahhh sorry sir, your routine maintenance service has unfortunatley turned
into a very expensive exercise

I was able to get the key to turn to position one. I was told you turn the

so, so I left the key where I had it and unplugged the battery until I can
figure out how to remove the lock cylinder -
at this point in time, only the incredibly cheap or the unfathomably stupid
would actually buy a windoze machine.
even i'm shocked at the contempt microsoft has for the buying public.
generations for freaks from general motors must now stand in awe at how far
the envelope could be pushed.
