Every time I've had to call Dell for anything (largely trying to get off their mailing list, since we no longer have a Dell), I've ended up wanting to beat my head against a wall.
However, we very seldom had to actually call tech support, so.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I've got a dell. They aren't bad. They stand up well to my college beatings.

They stand up well to my college beatings.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Anyone know of anything going on with Amazon.com? I haven't been able to get into the site all day.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I'm getting around on Amazon without any trouble.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I couldn't get into Amazon earlier, but it seems to be working for me now.
In other news...
IBM puts PC business up for sale.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Amazon's been down and not down for me.
Does anyone like IBM PCs?

If I only had a brain...
I love my ThinkPad kind of a lot. But I bought a Dell to replace it, because the price differential was just too high.
Can anybody recommend a reliable maker of electronic keyboards (the kind you play like a piano, not the kind you type with.) I'm thinking of getting one for the family for Christmas. I've played the piano before; the kids would be hacking around. Some sort of way of dumping melodies to a PC would be nice.

People have said good things about their laptops.
The last IBM PC we had around here was an XT. It had a 10 MB hard drive.
