Before following Nightforce's advice on a Dell computer, I'd look into it a little bit.
I do not say this because of performance or reliablility. Quite the contrary, I'm sure they produce a quality product.
On the other hand, I have started to take stock of which companies support causes I disagree with. Certainly, I can't avoid doing buisiness with every company that offends my principals, or I'd be stuck in the house all the time, but Dell, in particular, has donated rediculous amounts of funding to causes like the Brady campaign, Sen. Feinstein's election campaigns, the Violence Policy Center, and other not so popular causes around these parts.
Just some food for thought.
