I have been a proud Dell owner for most of my computing life, and have had little to no trouble with my systems. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The only time I had to have hardware replaced was last year, a hard drive. which was replaced free of charge, under my warrenty the next business day.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;All credit to Dell, and I hope they will be around for the &lt;SPAN style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB"&gt;foreseeable future. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://en.community.dell.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3207" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Michael Dell @ Google Zeitgeist</title><link>http://en.community.dell.com/blogs/direct2dell/archive/2006/10/10/3052.aspx#3128</link><pubDate>Mon, 16 Oct 2006 16:16:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e3197daa-ef0d-4a70-8402-29215ff9a0f2:3128</guid><dc:creator>Lionel_Menchaca</dc:creator><description>Steve: My apologies for the frustation.&amp;nbsp; Will have someone from the support team follow up with you soon.&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://en.community.dell.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3128" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Michael Dell @ Google Zeitgeist</title><link>http://en.community.dell.com/blogs/direct2dell/archive/2006/10/10/3052.aspx#3110</link><pubDate>Sat, 14 Oct 2006 16:24:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e3197daa-ef0d-4a70-8402-29215ff9a0f2:3110</guid><dc:creator>Steve Edelman</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;Simply the worst service experiance I every had.&amp;nbsp; Dell service reminds me of cable company service.&amp;nbsp; The cost $39 plus tax = $41.&amp;nbsp; The help ZERO.&amp;nbsp; For this cost the service rep told me; too bad our advance tech support team is off for the weeekend. They will have to call me back on Monday or Tuesday.&amp;nbsp; Weekends; this is a 24/7/365 world. There are no weekends.&amp;nbsp; I don't mind paying the small fee; except I want&amp;nbsp;service when I&amp;nbsp;need service. Not when&amp;nbsp;it's&amp;nbsp;avaiable by dell's standards. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Business model&amp;nbsp;with potential +&amp;nbsp; Not thought through = Detrimental results!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://en.community.dell.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3110" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
