Annette, re:<<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.>>

I don't doubt a word that you posted. I just can't understand how a pc without a Bios Chip could have left the factory. Without the Chip, the computer wouldn't start. How could Dell have loaded the Operating System and Application Software? (Of course, I am assuming they load the Application Software.) Something doesn't make sense.

In any event, I would expect Michael Dell to send a letter to the bank offering his apology and a clear statement as to why the problem occurred and the corrective action measures taken by Dell. Of course, any costs incurred by the bank should be paid by Dell.

I sure hope Dell isn't starting to see an increased number of problems due to their rapid expansion. All the recent hiring of personnel is not an easy thing to pull off without having some problems. Training of the new people, getting them up the "learning curve", overtime pressures, etc.

Sure hope the bank doesn't walk away from Dell.
