OT:Dell computers

[John Esak]

By the way, to stay fair and balanced (like you know who...) :-)  I have had
many, many DEL machines and they have all been quite good.  Their rack mount
jobs are built nearly as well as the HP's.  My main SCO box has been a $280
DELL I bought about 5 years ago and I don't think it has been off for more
than 10 minutes tops.  It runs like a top.  This is not a comment on their
service... But on their machinery.
