16V Oiling (not), NOW: Dell computers...



They aren't bad.  We have been buying Dells where I work instead of building
them ourselves and over the last two years it has saved us a lot of time and
money.  The money that the company saves by buying Dells and simply
installing software instead of having someone price out and build them makes
up for any price difference.  I doubt a price difference even exists between
a homebuilt computer and a Dell these days.

with a tech support based in India, where they are trained not on how to fix
computers, but on how to pass around a phone call. It's sad when really good
companies turn to complete crap due to cost cutting. The only reason these
companies are still doing okay is they're falling back on their old
reputation, which won't last for very long. Maybe execs will realize that
the cheapest path isn't always the most profitable one.

Hmmm, I should not be shocked by this, but I am.  Are they really that bad?
I was considering getting one...  And don't somebody tell me that I could
put one together, blah, blah, blah....  I will buy an apple before I do
that...  Don't get me started on the richest man in N.A....

Anyone else confirm Dells' state of being?

Thanks Dan,
  David
