I am a bit dunny with Dell....They always used to break, but i do like them because they dend out a replacement, even if it is just the cd drive, so we got a free dell optiplex and a flippin screen, it was wicked.

 

Dell need to go down, they are killing all of the little companies that have to make a bit of money on the side lines, now they are jsut plain stealing from us...bastards

Well I hope Dell lose.  Why?  Because I have a (meagre) pension with
West Midlands Metropolitan Authorities.  It ain't much but every penny
counts.

I actually remember you telling me about this some time ago, Dick.
