Ms Rosemary
If you have been reading rags like EETimes etc. for a while you would
notice the fauxpas like I do(have to admit I don't read junk like
PC Computing(they probably get half their revenues from Dell's
advertising dept.)).
Let me give you an example.

<<First, with its 300 MHz processor speed, the Dimension XPS D300 is just about
the world's fastest computer >>

ARE YOU KIDDING! This wouldn't have been the world's fastest computer
in 1990, much less 1997!

<<And it comes loaded with an awesome list of
standard features, including a whopping 9.1 OB Seagate hard disk>>

ooh. So you they got a good deal on the free falling hard disk prices.

<<'unparalleled customer service and support, innovative Web-based
marketing and easy anti-obsolescence leasing >>
yes Ms Rosie, get your philips screwdriver, call intc seagate and
micron. Buy a snazzy pink box to house the mother board. Call SONY
and get one of them 19" monitors. You'll have a killer new machine.
Call microsoft and put an operating sstem on it.
