o different address and charged me. I spent over 1 1/2 hours over the phone trying to send one back....I was pretty uphappy, they charged me for 2 mice, and 2 modeums too. I've had problems with the McAfee they pre-loaded. I have dial-up and for some reason the McAfee kept downloading over and over again...I couldn't get it to STOP. Once the d/l was complete it started all over..... I couldn't get to my favorite site (Cute Embro...of course). AND to top it off when I called Dell they told me to get intouch with McAfee and there would be a charge for tech support......grrrrrrrrrr. Long story short I have the billing error corrected and I deleted all the McAfee files and bought Norton 360. I got the Norton from Wall-Mart for $70...Dell wanted to charge me $84.99 which they said was a $15 discount....! I love the laptop and I'm happy to have it...but the problems....part of the problem was a language barrier....

I am glad you have it straightened out. I can't believe you received a 3rd computer. I had a Dell with a 5 year in house warrenty. Never again. I spent 2 days just trying to get someone to help me to get a repair order. Once I had that no one knew anything about it. Disconnects, starting from scratch, being talked down to etc. It was the most frustrating experience. Keep an eye on the situation.

Wow .. glad you got your new computer and got things straigtened out! I had withdrawals for about a week when I couldn't download any designs .. we went to a cabin fishing and it was too far away from civilization to get wireless internet or cell phone coverage!!

I wish you lots of luck with your laptop, as I know many of their computers are refurbished H&*.

Sometimes you wonder why personal service went out of fashion. I'm glad you finally got it sorted out. Enjoy the new toy - toy? we can't do without them, can we. Yesterday we had a powercut, due to some enthousiastic dragline operator - result: compulsary relaxing in the sun, could not do anything else but water the plants and wash the windows!

Let's see - you were talking to India? But, I am glad that you got your billing error corrected - Next time something like that happens tell them you want to talk to a representative in the United States, and they have to put you through to them. Good luck with the new laptop.
