Is it just Dell Computers?

Some people consider this a thumbs up approval for Dell Computers and perhaps the Internet in general:

Funny.

The caller must not have heard praises from the Mac fan-boys. You know, the macs are gloss & white for good reason.

That's a clip from "The Jimmy Kimmel Show". They (re)voice-over commercials, HSN, CNN & Larry King all the time.

I have 4 Dells around the house and they work fine. Problem was that their hard drive got full of crap and after formatting the HD and re-installing the OS and needed programs they work fine and are very fast.

I love it at the end when the QVC host says "He got his and he's loving it".

got optiplexes everywhere, they work


a lot of consumers complaining about a certain brand of computer, tend to be those who made the mistake of buying the consumer models from that particular Brand


i've had Compaq Deskpro's, DEll Optiplexes, all good
and i've seen friends and family with Compaq Presariosuck and Dell Inspiron****e and they were truly crappy


fact is, the consumer models are all loaded up with fancy gadgetry, and are models that change monthly...
the business models, have longer lifecycles, and don't come with all the useless consumer junk....
