I disagree -

I like to buy expensive equipment locally because if it doesn't work or I am not satisfied with the product, I take it right back. Out of the 25-50 computers systems I've bought over the years, though, I've only returned one but I've known those that have 1-800 ordered computer systems who went through hell getting them to work correctly.

Remember when Bill Gates was showcasing one of his new products and his computer crashed - I'm sure he would have been delighted to be able to go back to CPU and drop it in their lap rather than to have to call Dell for a pickup (assuming those were his alternatives).

Best of luck,

Steve
