I be interested to know what is wrong with Dell.  I've been pretty
happy with them.  I've given up on Compaq, Everex and, of course, IBM.
Poor or nonexistant support being one reason (all three).  Lack of
reliability for Compaq and Everex is another.  Proprietary BS from Compaq 
and IBM is a third reason.
