I love my stunt kites.
I have a Dell laptop (Inspiron 8000). Paid about $2500 for it, and it's quite nice as far as specs go. This is my primary computer, and I'm very protective of it.:)

I've had it for 9 months, and in the time I've had to have the motherboard replaced twice, new hard drive, new cd drive, and I'm waiting on a keyboard replacement. The last time I sent it in, it came back with several keys broken.
Every time I send my laptop in for service, it with comes back not fixed or with something else wrong. It's to the point whtere I _refuse_ to send it to the depot unless they swear it's not something that the local guy can come fix.
On the other hand my father's bought several computers (laptops and desktops) from them in the past few years, and those machines havent had any serious problems. When there is a problem, it gets fixed quickly and efficently.
I dont know what's going on, but it seems to me that Dell's fantastic service is going down the tubes.
Have you ever read the details about your account? I did, because I wanted to know if they made any kind of statement garunteeing that my money will stay mine.

This reminds me of the Virtual Theasaurus. Seems like it's doing about the same thing, but it a much simpler way.
I like the way Winamp behaves, and have often wondered if I was ever going to see that kind of behavior in larger windows.
Its dockabable and such, but it doesnt lock you into one size or one position. Should something like that come about, I'd be all for it.

...is directly related to how open the gate is that you came through. It's true in religon, it's true in immigration.
AOL lead the way, soon it will be true on the internet as well.

They dont.
