One of simple ideas of sports training is that the limits of skill and ability is revealed with the application of pressure.

based upon your experience with Dell, my own is quite similar will the future opinions of Mr. Jarvis have more of less influence on your own. I have no opinion of Mr. Jarvis. I can only conclude from your post he is a technology ignoramus and frustrated and was quite unlucky with his dell computer..

I love my new Sony laptop. It's one of the tiny Vaios, about 3 1/2 pounds. I can carry it in my purse! Its name on the network is "Baby."

That's my travelling laptop.

My mothership laptop, a Sager, has problems. None of the USB ports work, all the wires are tangled and if I use them they short out the computer. I took it to a computer repair guy and he says that in laptops, he just puts glue in USB ports so nobody can use them and short out the computer. Fills them up with glue! I don't think he was joking!

Laptops are very hard to work on, apparently. Ben screwed up his sound port and Sager had to ship it back to Taiwan. Took almost two months.

I was thinking about getting a Dell, but Jarvis scared me.
