Quote - hopefully the next laptop won't be a Dell...;)

Nope!  No more laptops and no more crappy Dell stuff.  When I see them selling their wares on The Shopping Channel I get the incredible urge to call in with a "testimonial"!!!!  LMAO   If you are in Canada and suddenly hear a female drastically cut off you'll know it was me!!!!  haha

I am drafting up a letter to send into each Province's Better Business Bureau. 

And you're right about the price I paid.  Their prices are inflated big time!  I know my graphic card was a fortune by itself but I specifically designed that laptop for graphics. It was my primary goal of use.  I think I saw the bill of sale / contract while cleaning up my bedroom.  If I can dig it out I'll scan the relevant portion to show the price. That really is what I paid for it, plus financing costs, which I think brought it close to 6K!!!!!!!

That's another thing.  Don't finance with them either!!! Rip off city!

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
