Thank you. :)<BR/>As far as Dell, my daughter gave me a Dell for Christmas 4 years ago and it works fine now after a mild crash (crossing fingers it doesn't happen again). I know what you mean about the customer service, though. I remember talking to them. One time I said pleeeease let me talk to someone who speaks English!Labetinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05397953284484211777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225005620823671366.post-39543962066692588472009-01-08T06:05:00.000-08:002009-01-08T06:05:00.000-08:00You mean it's not just MY Dell?
