Larry, Last I looked, over 7,826 new buyers a day ( 18,000,000/$2300 asp) purchase a Dell without ever having felt the touch of the keyboard, or how nicely it fits on the desk. This figure is also up a mere 300% from last year. 2,856,490 buyers would disagree with your last point. KW

Larry, I've never been able to test drive a PC before buying it. They're never equiped with the software that I use and probably never will be. I think the risk of a keyboard that doesn't feel right is much less than the risk of a PC that won't run Office 97 well with all the other tasks that I like to have going concurrently. FWIW, Ian.

No, but I have used them in the past. I know that the keyboard feel is very important to some folks, but I've used so many different ones that it doesn't bother me. I bought the Dell because I know they make a quality machine and I got more for my money. But, your point is a good one, I wish that Dell had outlets so we could get some hands on. My daughter is ready to buy a new machine and she is afraid to buy one without 'trying' it first. <<<Richard tell me How did you try the DELL PC before you bought it ???? Like did the key board feel right, etc ? That is what DELL doesn't have to offer.....yet ! Do you buy cars without test driving them?(g) Larry Dudash>>>
