I don't have to. All I have to do is look at my Comp usa or office max or office warehouse advertising and open the Dell web page and compare the prices I would not buy a Dell. I can get a Strong Packard Bell Pentium 11 266 meg for 799.00 with a fifteen inch monitor. Granted even the Government will start to notice these prices and say What the heck. You guys are screwing us. I don't know if you notice lately even Ibm prices looks good. If I were a first time computer buyer or illiterate and had to choose between a Dell and ibm. Now what name brand would you choose if the prices are equal. And Again I would never short Dell too many re- ( I can't say it any longer I offended one person using the word) in Dell. I am in home Depot now. It's better for my health. Joe no longer going with the flow.
