 Has anyone purchased a Dell computer lately

I have only purchased one Dell and that was about a year before yours. It will be my last Dell also. For such reason as has been noted. My lap top will not allow you to change the size of the fonts on the screen and I bought their top of the line lap top. Same type service problems as you are saying with mine. A thought that might not work and yes I can not understand their support people either, buy their high price add on warranty that gives you support at your site.

YP,

Not a computer expert but have a thought and if it has been covered forgive me...network. Are your printers network ready? If so that might be your best option. If they are not and the type of machines they are, they probably have that option to buy.

I have a printer plugged in directly to my Dell on USB and the main printer is on network and it works very well. This is a very simple network with no server and each printer and computer plugged into the network router.

WW, it was YP who was wanting to remove McAlfee. I was able to cut it off on my Dell and did so and used Norton. Have since left Nortona and now use Zone Lab or some such name. YP, if your McAlfee is the trail version which my was it will take care of itself.

It seems this has grown to include my question now, any body had any experience with Vision Computers? I think that nameis correct.

I have only heard of them on talk radio.

yooperpete, do they still use plotters? I thought they had ink jets now that were less. I have a son in law who draws house plans and he was able to go with a large ink jet for less than plotter is my understanding. Have not seen his printer as it is not in his office so it may not handle large enough paper for you. He is using like 2 by 3 feet sheets I think for house plans. kt

A point on Dell I did not know and do not like: I had an extended warranty on a Dell with Dell. Called by Dell and was placed on my Dell charge account with all paperwork showing Dell. So the extended warranty was Dell right as that is who I called and they handled the claim and so forth. Turns out was not Dell's extended warranty. They sell the rights to others to call their purchasers using Dell's name and charge accounts and so forth. I did not like that at all. To me that is terrible misleading. Ended up causing a major problem for me as the warranty company who then contracted with a local tec (read not an employee) had no control over what he did or did not do. Allowed who I thought was a Dell employee to take on work he was not qualified for that cost me a lot. To which Dell said sorry and so did the warranty company. As I told them each of your present all of this as Dell to me which Dell told me they understood but it was not all Dell. What bull crap. No Dell for me. kt
