As a nerd I want to know what might cause Dells to slow down in the way you suggest. As there isnt much hardware that would be responsible for such symptoms, apart from some RAM or harddrive partial failure, it sounds more like an OS issue. Now certainly Windows often gets clogged up within a year or two and needs reinstalling, but I dont know what there is about Dells that would make it more of an issue with them. Maybe they ship some iffy drivers or apps with the machine, but again Id usually expect that to make them slow to start with, rather than after a year.
Personally I dont believe it being a Dell or how old it is is terribly relevent to whether its responsible for Gerry's problems with Blip. It could be, but the devil will be in the detail, its jsut as likely some setting or app installed on your computer thats causing woes, or some part of your approach is causing a problem, eg what format & filesize are you uploading the videos as?
