I had to post this, and I apologize to the DellHeads in advance....
I had posted earlier that the major bank that employs my brother invested in a major shipment of Dell pcs...
I thought that was fantastic...UNTIL, I had dinner with him last night and got the real scoop.
They received a shipment of 4,000 DELL PCs and after installing them in a few locations, they immediately noticed there was a problem....
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE PCs WERE MISSING A BIOS CHIP. Argggh...they had to hire contractors to fix them(I'm positive DELL reimbursed them) but it left a bad taste all-around, especially when this bank switched from another manufacturer to get Dell PCs.
Oh well, probably someone fell asleep on the inspection line...it's all a part of being a human, eh?

When this happened, he made fun of me for holding DELL stock!
