I buy nothing but Dell now, a good system that is as
tightly integrated
with Windows as any machine out there. I have one at home, and one at
the
office. Yet I have to reboot each on average once a
week.
FYI: my partners employer went all dell and they are far happier with
them
compared to DEC, compaq and Duratel. They dont seem to experience reboot
problems save for when they run one rather badly behaved ACCESS based
application. The Access hack (must have been written by script kiddies)
even has a sloppy user interface.
Don't blame the Cow for soggy cereal unless the Cow makes it.

Windows wasn't making the Dell crash. The Dell probably did precisely what
it was told. This is a case where the cow caused the problem.

Dick, once again you forgot to turn your brain on when you responded.

Well, that's what I get for agreeing, for once, with what you said, even if
it wasn't what you meant.
