The only Dell's in this house are ones I got from client's when they failed.
I have rebuilt them and put them to use when needed or loaned them out or
given them away to someone who needs a computer and can't afford one.

I keep one here which I use to rescue data from failing hard drives which
haven't been backed up.  I still can't impress upon my friends and neighbors
the importance of backing up their data.  I have been lucky so far in that
their drives usually just won't boot.  When installed in my computer, I can
usually get their information off.  

Oh well, back to work.
