I just ordered a laptop from Dell last Thursday.  I just got it yesterday.  That's what's awesome about Dell.  I customized it and selected options that I wanted, they built it in Malaysia, and sent it to me in less than a week for pretty much free.  But, of course, I have a complaint:  Dell loaded the computer with all kinds of junk like AOL, NetZero, EarthLink, Word Perfect, MusicMatch Jukebox, and a bunch of other stupid little picture viewers and media players.  I spent several hours getting all that nonsense off of there.  Dell could do everyone a favor by sending out computers that are pretty much stripped down, although I like the fact that it came with essentials like Acrobat Reader, Quicktime, Real Player, etc.  But all those other nonsense programs are designed to get you hooked into using them because they offer a free trial period.  Even stuff like Norton AntiVirus gives you a 90-day trial period.  But at the end of the 90 days, it warns of impending doom and destruction because your computer is now open to "malicious attackers" and the like. #technology
