I got sold a shitty ass Dell by someone who I thought was a friend enough to tell me what was what computer wise.  Instead I got a p.o.s. that I had to have totally replaced once.  Now though, almost exactly one year later, the thing is slowly self destructing.  I will never buy a dell again if I can in any way avoid it.  I would understand the computer being such a piece if I didn't take care of it, or if I downloaded stuff like crazy, or didn't provide (expensive) virus protection.  But I do take care of it and the darn thing just (figuratively) spits in my face.  It just gets my goat.  Tonight for example.  I'm chillin on the interweb, lookin at some blogs, when the computer starts jerking and freezing like Max Headroom.  The screen goes all squiggly blue and then the computer turned on and off like 20 times.  Then it restarted and told me that Vista broke.  So now I'm downloading some huge ass Vista file.  Sigh.
