Well, I bit the Bullet and phoned in to get that Unit. Talk about a "Nightmare". Of course I got one of those nice "Foreign" people everybody talks about. Don't get me wrong. He really was nice and helpful, considering his "Accent". Well, I bit the "Bullet", and wasn't going to let that put me off. When I asked a Question, I'd get him to re-explain it to me until I could understand what he was talking about. For one question, which I didn't think was to complicated for him to understand, took "Five" tries at the same Question, that I think it finally Dawned on him as to what I was talking about. He almost sounded Embarrassed when he realized what I meant.
To get the parts I showed you in the beginning of this Post and to get the Deal "Finalized" took me "Two and a Half Hours". Of course we had to go over each and every Item, which is to be expected, but this Episode was something else. After I got off the Phone, I had to take a couple of Aspirin and lay down for a while. I sure as Hell hope It's worth it.
One thing that I "Insisted on, was that they "NO NOT INSTALL ANY ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE, ESPECIALLY MCAFEE.
I told him that if they insisted on Installing that Software, that I'd find some other Computer to Buy. After he tried to Double-Talk me into having McaFee Installed by jumping to other subjects, and then coming back and Totaling up the "Item" List, and always including "McaFee". I flat out told him that I considered having McaFee on my Computer was worse than having a Virus. I told him time and again, that any Software that they were going to put on my Computer, I was going to Remove, and having that Anti-Virus Program was going to take me a lot longer than I was willing to do....Period, !!!!
I think he then got the Hint.
Anyway, I increased my Warranty to 4 Years, he seem to be more open to any suggestions that I had.
The only thing that he said the he would have to Install, was AO-HELL. He said that he did not have a choice and would have to Install it. Well, that's going to be the first thing that Bites the Dust. ==================================================================
"trapper", you said in a Previous Post that there was a Website called "How to Undell a Dell".
I hope you have the Address for that Site still. I'll probably need it.
"DJC". Your probably right, but for the situation I'm in that's "Totally" out of the Question.
Edit: I just finished Posting this and didn't see your Post about the Coupons. I went to that Site anyway, and when I Clicked on the different Ststem Coupons, all I got was "Page could not be Displayed" or somethiing like that.
It's OK. there probably only good in the States anyway.
Thanks, for the thought.
"Jason". I'm afraid the Address to that Website you Posted only shows One System, and is available in the (US) only. I'm not sure if I Posted it but, I live in Canada. Thanks for the help anyway.
Well, for now, I'd like to give a Big Round of thanks to everybody that contributed your Opinion's to this Topic.
It's nice to have friends who are willing to go out of their way to help someone.
Thanks again... Now, I'm going to go out and get Drunk. After that Marathon Phone-Call, I need a Beer.
