Hello Dory:

The company you referred to in your posting is IBM They will no longer have
their name on personal or desktop computers. It looks like China will be
manufacturing the majority of our stuff.

: Hi Dory:
:
: I've had one "not so good" and one "absolutely horrible" experience
: configured / "put together" computer systems. In april of 2004, I
purchased
: a Dell Dimension 8300, and it has performed like a dream! I couldn't be
: happier! I would recommend Dell desktop systems very highly based on my
: experience. I've heard that Dell laptops are not nearly as good or
reliable,
: but I don't know that from personal experience.
