18 months later, and I've still got the same junky computer. You wouldn't look at it and think it is bad-- it looks fine. On the surface it does a lot of the things that you'd expect a computer to do... It can show pictures. I can usually surf the web. I say usually because I'm forced into using firefox, and the formatting of webpages is sometimes horribly skewed on firefox.
If I want to see this thing fall apart, all I have to do is pop a DVD into the drive... I've googled "Dell Inspiron 6000 slow DVD drive" so many times, I think I'm personally impacting the search rankings. Hours and weekends disappear into a black hole of time, never to be seen again. Dell's premium tech support expired in August. I spent a few hours with them too, trying to make this work, what a waste.
I bought a MacBook about a year ago, and it runs like a gem. I don't want to put Windows on the MacBook though, because then it would run like a PC.... or I guess I should say it wouldn't run, like a PC.
Microsoft is coming out with Windows 7, or something like that. In my field, 100% of the computers are still using XP-- none use vista. I wonder what will happen when 7 comes out-- will they still offer business computers with an XP option? There's got to be a better way than this.
