MeDroogies,

Re: "would've probably saved money by running out to Costco"

Probably not...although DELL would probably have saved money if I purchased it elsewhere. And wouldn't Costco have made me purchase a package of around 100 cartridges, and make me wait online for an hour at checkout and then another hour online at the door checkout....and then I would have to spend another hour moving shopping carts away from my car, left there by irresponsible shoppers who never put the carts in the correct place when done...and before all this I would HAVE to have a costco hot dog and coke for $1.50, and we all know how bad hot dogs are....and my costco has a wine store next door....my girlfriend ALWAYS has to go in there and buy wine....more money spent. Then there is the hour traffic jam to leave the costco parking lot.

I didn't actually NEED the cartridge. This time it wasn't like toilet paper. I didn't run out in the most inopportune of times.....was like a test....how fast can a cartridge get to me the next time I wait until the last minute and run out of ink late at night with no stores open. A one-day turnaround time to me was brilliant.

Hope I didn’t ruin DELL’s margins for next Q’s earnings with this large purchase :)

Cheers,
kaka
