kemble...Walt Mossberg, WSJ, finally throws Dell a bone... Walt never was much of a Dell fan. I emailed him once and asked why he never recommended Dell systems in his columns and he gave me some lame reason which I can't recall. Well, in todays column about what to consider in buying a PC, he concludes with this... "Brands and models: All Windows PCs are similar, but unless you're a techie, I advise sticking with name brands such as Hewlett-Packard, Dell, eMachines, Gateway and Sony. A new type of desktop PC, called a Media Center PC, is being offered by Hewlett-Packard, Gateway and others. It uses a special version of Windows that can be operated with a remote control from across the room for playing music and videos, viewing photos, and even watching television. These models also have a full complement of connectors for media devices, and strong video and audio capabilities. They start at around $1,400, without monitor. It's fine to buy at a retail store, but you'll find it easier to customize a model, and sometimes get better prices, on the Web. If you value the opportunity to customize a PC, Dell is the best choice." Write to Walter S.
