Now that I have experienced the difference, believe me, it is my very very very strong opinion that the buyers got screwed. They not only got screwed, but they got the royal shaft. There's not a single doubt in my mind that Dell Computer, by installing ME in the Dell Dimension 4100, screwed every purchaser big time.
It's not a simple matter of dollars and cents. So, you paid a thousand for the outfit and lost it. No, it is the time and aggravation day after day, trying to fix the unfixable, trying to understand what was wrong and there was no understanding it, trying to repair it with patches and finding that there were yet more and more glitches to patch up.
Time? What is YOUR time worth? Aggravation? How much does it take from your life? Hours and hours. Call the tech. Call your Guru. Call a friend who knows about computers. Irritating. They help you and you're calling them again tomorrow and the following week, time and time again. I took pictures. I have more than 100 of them showing my screen. I should make Screen Savers out of them.
Tie a naked Michael Dell to a pole in the center of the main street in Austin, Texas, and let each sufferer from ME just stick him once with a pin. No flames. Just a pin prick. A tiny pin prick. Paint M-E on his abdomen with blood, like that TV Ad, where the woman has something written around her belly button. A fantasy.
I'm a nut, you say? Hell, who cares? I say that a guy with $14 billion of personal wealth should have a conscience and he should have replaced that damnable Dell, the Computer from Hell. He's at the top. The buck (crap) stops there.
Now, if you want my opinion on anything else, just ask.
