Dell's premier site is less than optimal but if I email our rep, she replies with directions to go to the premier site and quote the item. round and round and round.

And like others said, I get great deals from working with reps. ESPECIALLY if it's near the end of the quarter for them. We actually track this and time many of our purchases around it. -Sam -----Original Message----- From: Ben Scott [mailto:mailvor...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2011 9:31 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: OT: Dear Dell On Mon, Jun 6, 2011 at 2:50 PM, Jonathan Link <jonathan.l...@gmail.com> wrote:> Also, if you fail to do that, please at least quote the order > correctly the first time.

Standard Configurations can mean you only build your configs once. I hold the belief that generally all vendors and contractors are basically incompetent, so eliminating a human from the process is usually a win. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ---To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/or send an email to listmanager@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.comwith the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
