I asked for the n-series and she said it was not available. I asked for a pc without an OS, and she said they don't sell them without the OS, but that I could use fdisk and wipe everything out. I said but I'm still paying for the OS and she says no, it comes with the computer and I said well, don't you think the price of the OS is factored into the price of the computer? Let us know if you have an inside scoop! Todd
