Actually, I'd heard a couple of horror stories about Dell's customer service and therefore stayed away from them. Most of my computers have been HP, though I'm flirting with the idea of a Mac. But I suppose in the final analysis, no matter who the maker, computer creators all have one common characteristic. We're at their mercy.<br /><br />Pat<br />Critter AlleyPat Wahlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01138619912065680084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795370529696691543.post-61597666537669274832013-07-29T15:22:08.600-05:002013-07-29T15:22:08.600-05:00I think Linda nailed it; the Dell from hell.

So, thanks for the head's up. <br /><br />I am, at this very minute, sending sympathy and good thoughts your way. They were made in the USA, do not require a warranty, and you can have as much of both as you need to feel better. I know you've had a rough go, but you sure make me smile on this Monday a.m. Thanks. :)Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048410207952052295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795370529696691543.post-10543688868677500472013-07-28T20:59:39.054-05:002013-07-28T20:59:39.054-05:00I'm about ready to call India for you.

I hate to say that in the time it took you to write all this wonderful scathing diatribe, you could have had your computer fixed by inviting a 12-year-old boy over for hot dogs, root beer, and ice cream.<br />But the scathing diatribe is more fun, and 12-year-old boys have been known to break root beer mugs and ice cream dishes, and then where would you be?<br />A great write!<br />KKay L.
