Neither Dell nor IBM are good choices unless you're prepared to pay muchos di=F1eros for a service contract - and in some cases s/unless/even if/ (I remember IBM spending two weeks and bob knows how much money trying to fix a DOA Netfinity 5600 instead of just replacing it like we asked them to; they even flew in a tech circus rep from Scotland who ended up replacing just about everything except the case and the PSUs). If you have to choose between those to, go with Dell as their stuff is generally cheaper and less f***ed-up than IBM's. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=F8rgrav - des@des.no
