"Quality"?? That all depends on what one considers "quality". While I have not *owned* one either, I see MANY of them from complaining customers that we me to fix them, or make them a new one, and none are what I would consider quality. Some may have nice cases, but that's where it ends.
>>The near-universal resistance to RTFM has always amazed me. Hee hee! I wonder how many are wondering that means. -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hugh Vandervoort" There's another side... Companies like Dell have made it possible for millions of people to have quality, low cost PCs and to enjoy the benefits of the computer revolution and the Web. I build my own, and have never owned a brand name PC, but they are necessary, and most companies do a good job. My few experiences with support staff have been resolved satisfactorily, if not always enjoyably. Most people just don't have the interest or the time to master their computers or even do basic troubleshooting, and part of the fault lies with them. The near-universal resistance to RTFM has alway amazed me. Yes, the software producers and the hardware manufacturers could do a better job, but most machines just chug along doing their job until they're replaced or they die, and that's a good thing.
